Probably repeating myself, but had John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Chill Wills, John Ford (director) plus cast and crew fly back and forth on my flights from L.A. via El Paso to San Antonio, Texas while filming "The Alamo," in 1959. John Wayne and I conversed about his movie, The High and the Mighty, wanting to know if I had seen it (I had). He also lit my cigarette in lounge area. sigh.... He wore his brown leather jacket with fringes. Several times his son, Pat,flew with us as well as his wife at the time, Maria, and his then 5 year old daughter. Filming was in Brackettsville, TX outside of S.A.
