: : 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!
Great discussion, guys. If you haven't already, check out the "Alamo de Parras" website, and its' link to The Alamo Society (with a plug from Mark Baker).
