As a little side note, my wife, Maryann, lived in Newport Beach, in a house located on a cliff overlooking the Duke's home below in Balboa.
 
John Wayne was a somewhat of a local to our community up here in the PNW.
I can look out of my kitchen window at the land his family still owns.
I wonder if his son Patrick lived here until recently.
He even donated a bunch of waterfront land to build a marina.
It is called the John Wayne Marina located in Sequim Washington and there is a small handful of his memorabilia at the fancy restaurant located there.

What a cool guy he was.
An obvious outdoorsman no doubt.
It sure would have been nice bumping into him In our remote area.
