John Ray Davis Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 There's a John Wayne Museum in Bowie, Maryland!I was going into a local Wawa when I saw a car with signs on the back for a John Wayne Museum in Bowie. One sign said "Honk if you love John Wayne". The license was J WAYNE.When I went back to my car, I had to stop by and ask what was up. I'm a fan and I've never heard of this in 35 years in MD.I met Mr. Bill Atkins. He was a Marine at Camp Pendleton when Duke showed up to make The Flying Leathernecks. Mr. Atkins and some of his fellow Marines were extras in the movie.He became a huge fan and has turned part of his office into a museum.Another initiative is to get John Wayne's picture on the $1 bill. He gave me one as a souvenir. [/url] [/url] It was a story on John Wayne's pistol that led me into Cowboy Action Shooting.
