His niece delivered our groceries from Walmart today. Want to read that again? She had all kinds of interesting photos from her collection. I gave her an extra big tip.
From IMBD:
"His close physical resemblance to John Wayne led to nearly 30 years as Wayne's stunt double. He often played small roles and stunted in other roles in the same film, which frequently resulted in his "shooting" himself once the picture was cut together. He graduated to larger supporting roles in westerns for Wayne and John Ford, and to a parallel career as a second-unit director. At the time of his death, he was one of the most respected stunt men in Hollywood."
You may wonder why it is we even found out, but if you were in our family you'd know we bring up John Wayne in every conversation. Here are Chuck Roberson and John Wayne.
Now, if you want to know another dimension to this, where we live in Leisure World in the winter was where Ben Johnson lived for many years.
Here is a photo:
And if that isn't enough, three doors down from us lives a woman who is Wyatt Earp's great-niece. Her last name is Earp.
We live in COWBOYLAND!
