: Rich,
: That was fun!
Whew! I thought I might have another brouhaha on my hands! :)
: I love a good discussion. I think we essentially agree,
We do! Oh, I also didn't mean to sound as if I didn't like the John Wayne movie. I DO! It's great entertainment. I remember my father taking me to see that on the big screen when I was 8 years old back in 1960. Been interested in the subject ever since.
: . : Pat, are you going to wear your coonskin cap to The Gathering???? And, have you ever seen the film on Sam Houston starring Sam Elliott?
: I don't have a coonskin cap, but I might find a feather around here somewhere. I haven't seen the movie? What was your take on it?
Well, it's been awhile since I've seen it, but, I love the character of Sam Elliott ... no matter who he plays, I just like his character. The movie was decent enough, a nice mini-history of the Texas War for Independence ... from Gonzales to Bejar to The Alamo to Goliad to San Jacinto. I liked it. Lainey says she disliked it, but what does she know?
: Now, I am going to go to your site you recommended.
Well, don't expect too much, I have very little time to work on it. You see, there's this OTHER site that's been a-takin' all my time! Darn!
