This is classic vernacular for "Do not do unto others that which is hateful to you." Mr. Wayne had a delivery that could translate values and emotions into gems.

Although he is remains my favorite cowboy actor, his support of Senator McCarthy's witch-hunts, Nixon's candidacies, and dedicated support of the Viet-Nam War tarnish his star for me. I also have some trouble with his condoning of the genocide of N. America's native population. But none of this shows in his movies. His film persona was a major element in the formation of my view of the U.S. as a great country, and of my duty to it. I still enjoy his movies, but can't quite figure out how he fired the Browning .30 cal MG without a mount. But if anyone could, it would be John Wayne.

See 'yall later- I'm off on a mission to buy used books.

I intend to comment on some of those photos, although others need no more that a title. I'm glad to be here among such illustrious personages as yourself, and hope to add something worthwhile.

As far as my daughter Scarlet is concerned, she is absolutely wonderful and both myself and her mother are immensely proud of her. I'm sure that I'm going to get a telling off from her when she reads this, but she knows how we feel about her and it is lovely,for me, to read other people who also say nice things about her, so thank you.
As for the site, it seems like a very relaxed and friendly place and I'm quite pleased that Scarlet found it and enjoys it. I'm not much of a writer myself, but I'm sure I will keep looking in every now and again to see whats going on.
Cheers.....Alan.

At 10:49am on January 5, 2009, SGTsickcall said…: I was there in 1968 pretty much. I served as the awards and decorations clerk HHT, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (Black Horse). Cliff and I go way back to his Employment Division Days. He left and I stayed on until age 60, now happily retired.

At 8:57am on January 2, 2009, SGTsickcall said…: I don't know who had the yellow square, in fact I never noticed it before you mentioned it. I downloaded the image from the internet. I was actually an awards and decorations clerk and served as a bunker guard at our base in Bien Hoa sometimes.

I think it would be a good experience for him and an education by accident. He admires you and Edythe immensely and would benefit from the free exchange if ideas and viewpoints. I read your blog on Georgia, very impressive.

Happy New Year to you as well, friend!

You know her as well:) We'll take some more in less than 3 weeks!
