John Wayne’s final resting spot is overlooking Newport Harbor. His old home has been torn down and replaced in the harbor.

His old ship the Wild Goose is still located in the harbor but converted into a harbor cruise boat.

I take it you don’t have Netflix or anything of the sort? Firecreek was one of the best westerns I’ve ever seen. It was one my “John-Wayne-lookalike” father’s favorites too. And he was a huge fan of westerns. Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, and the beautiful Inger Stevens...

Here’s a short clip from the ending. You might want to skip it if you plan on oneday seeing the movie.

I have a problem with downloading movies. I live in a rural area and the only high speed internet available here is satellite.

I have a limit of 5 gigabytes a month. That is adequate for most purposes but downloading movies would eat that up fast.

I like several of his pictures, but one I vividly remember from when I was a kid is “Hatari”. What an adventure movie, my brother and I saw that film at least three or four times and boy did we want to go to the Africa.
