Ethan was named after the lead character in the classic “Searchers.” John Wayne found the character so intriguing and captivating he named the new grandbaby “Ethan.” The character embodied traits appealing to Wayne: rugged individualism, relentless dynamism, perseverance against tremendous odds, passionate in his beliefs and predilections yet open to new ideas and revision. A man of few words yet instantly recognized as the leader. Those traits he hoped for his new grandson. It would be interesting to hear the family’s account of the naming.
The movie of “Big Jake” is one of the most touching of the John Wayne films. The music adds to the gentleness displayed by the burly, errant Grandfather who is on a mission to save Ethan, a grandson he has never seen, from cutthroat kidnappers after a huge ransome.
Ethan could add to this biography by recounting words from his Grandfather. John Wayne was noted for giving opportunities to young talent. His pride in being involved in the accomplishments of the young can be seen in the “Cowboys.”

He said to ask the people in charge of the volinteer drivers if I could be their personal driver while they were there I spent 4 days with them. I took them back to the airport when time came to leave they gave me a 50

Ethan,
The time has come to let you know that a person that is staying at the 26bar ranch and is calming that he was your father’s pilot and selling official items. This person goes by the name of Chill Bill if you can email me back. We the Hopi tribe in Arizona and I will sent emails that he is spreading that is not true. Hope to talk to you on side if you want to have a time to spent on the 26bar let me know.

It was on my bucket list to see or meet John Wayne before he passed. I waited to long. So, a couple yrs back I put on my Larry Mahan 7x beaver Cowboy hat and my Dads western vest and went southeast about 60 mi to Winterset, Ia to see the unveiling of the Dukes big bronze statue. I waited quite awhile to meet Ethan Wayne. I was impressed how he took the time to discuss his fathers success and how humble he was of his own. I was saddend and I could tell it was hard for him to discuss his late brother Michael, producer/director of McClintock movie, who looked just like his Dad. I told him I had missed Patrick and his Mother Pilar on a previous dedication of his fathers birthhome cause of work. I told him I had lost my father in1986 who once rode his horse across the Continental Divide in Colorado Rockies at the age of 70 and was wearing his vest and ask him if he would sign its lining. “Are you sure”? “It’s a nice vest”. Sure I’m sure, Dad was a big fan too. And by’golly he signed it and I cheerish it as it hangs retired on my office wall. God bless the Wayne Family giving of their time and effort to support Iowa’s connection to a great American Icon. Thx Ethan!

Hi. Will there be any more online auctions of john Wayne’s stuff like the 1 that I missed out on last year? I’d really like to have some type of clothing that he wore….even if there’s a spare sock without its match lying around somewhere! I have too much love for him
Thanks
