My significant other Richard E. Tatum is one of your Father's fans.
ReplyDeleteHe has all of his movies, posters, and gold-trimmed plates, and
his daughter framed his death certificate. It is hanging in our John Wayne room. And, yes, we have a John Wayne room. I have (me Richard) been to Bracketville, Texas, to the Alamo movie set. The people there told me where I could purchase a sterling silver John Wayne Red River belt buckle, which I have. I also, at one time had the first issue John Wayne 32 Winchester rifle that would actually fire. I also, at one time, purchased the second issue John Wayne gold-plated rifle and gave it to my grandson who is a police officer in Oklahoma. More to come, if you are interested.
