He's another one who could switch sides just to keep things going. I loved the excitement of it all. Then there was my mother, who sat there quietly, later correcting him.

Just watched "The Green Berets", and I am now watching "Angel and the Badman". I wish "The Quiet Man" was coming on too--it's one of my favorite movies of all time. Does it get any better than John Wayne teamed with Maureen O'Hara? <br /><br />Have a great weekend!Virginia Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960370038323930029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-40328248853204285522012-05-26T12:27:30.435-05:002012-05-26T12:27:30.435-05:00Your Dad is adorable.

He saw my grandma walk by as he was having his shoes shined and told the guy working on the shine he was going to marry that girl. He did a few weeks later. I guess they didn't have much patience in those days. Thank you for sharing your memories. I know I could go on and on about how wonderful my Dad was. He was my No. 1 hero always.<br /><br />It was fun reading the facts on John Wayne. He definitely gave the persona of being larger than life. I think McClintock is my favorite. He and Maureen O'Hara definitely had chemistry together.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-80555068313061091252012-05-26T07:24:42.307-05:002012-05-26T07:24:42.307-05:00Thanks, Caroline--of the two men, I liked the stor...Thanks, Caroline--of the two men, I liked the story about your dad the most. You certainly had an interesting family--and no wonder you're so literary and creative.<br />He does sound like a true American hero--thanks for sharing with us. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend--rest up, loll around, and fix up some great American food.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-39116371712049437992012-05-25T14:34:19.649-05:002012-05-25T14:34:19.649-05:00Enjoyed this article very much!

His cheekbones and sensitive mouth are almost too pretty for a man! <br />I live John Wayne and also find Quiet Man a favorite. Have my own copy...might get a chance to watch it "again" this weekend. Have nice holiday days yourself.Bookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043111213031211794noreply@blogger.com
