The Duke, John Wayne
Last Wednesday, when I went to see my Therapist, I had also taken a small crocheted Stocking to the gentleman who owns the office. They share the space to save on rent. Anyway, Mr. Reno, Rex, brought out to me an 8 X12 glossy copy of a painting that has John Wayne, Pilar Wayne, "Big Red" (a big time bookie, I was told), Rex Reno, Rod Sterling and towards the back at the bar is Gary Cooper. Big Red had wanted a painting of him playing poker with the duke and his buddies. Pilar did the painting when she lived down towards back bay. Big Red asked Pilar how much and she said $5000. Big Red pulled out his money clip and peeled off the $5000.
So, for all you Big Time "Duke" fans enjoy. When I was a lot younger I had met John Wayne over at the Sav-on Drugs at Westcliff. WOW he was something. I also remember his boat, the "Wild Goose" down here in the Newport Channel.
Memories are fun and so are people one meets.
