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.

I picked John & Ethan Wayne up at Dallas Love Field airport I was a volenteer driver for the national Veterans Veterans convention. Dallas Texas, I drove them to the Dallas Hilton Hotel, I helped cary their suit cases up to their suite, said to John Wayne if they needed someone to drive them around I was raised in dallas would they Please ask for me. 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 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.”
