My grandparents always tell the story of my meeting him when I was a three. I guess he was filming in BC. A picture to go with the story would be great. I don't know what they were thinking.

James Pierce was Morrison's high school football coach, and later became the fourth actor to play Tarzan in Hollywood motion pictures, and Prince Thun in the Flash Gordon serials.

I saw an episode of "Pawn Stars" recently where a 1928 yearbook featuring Ronald Reagan and a signed letter went for $2,000. Maybe you should stop in to see them the next time you're in Vegas.

Fun, amazing stuff, Lindy! You're the mostest.

I once saw a picture of John Wayne (I think it was an "At Home with...."-type of article in either Look or Life - we got both in the mail) from the 60s. He was wearing a floral shirt unbuttoned nearly to the navel, flip-flops, and the tiniest short shorts I'd ever seen on a man. He was surrounded by dachshunds. Young Pilar was sitting on the opposite side of a long leather sofa. He looked like Queen of the Hawaiian Piss-Elegant Fairies. Not a big deal, really, for a Hollywood actor, but this was John Fucking Wayne.

Your 2008 article was just the kind of thing I love. LA Times archives has a blurb about your grandparents' 1933 wedding - is it possible this could be accurate that at the time your grandpa was going by "Rickenbacker"? That would have been an extremely popular name to adopt, as Eddie Rickenbacker was famous as a WWI flying ace.

Sadly, all I can see for free is the abstract: ""Top spot" today must be given to the marriage of two of radioland's favorite performers, Mona Lowe, N.B.C. song star, and Paul Rickenbacker, production manager of..."

He looks quite dashing, with those two working lungs and all.

I think it's weird that he looks a little dreamy in the picture. Especially when I realize that picture looks sorta like a similarly aged picture of my grandfather.

Wait, are you sure you don't mean John Wayne GACY?

I used to live in modern-day Glendale. Truly awful place. I'm sure it was really nice back then.

How stylish is that Stylus cover, for a year book?

My husband found the yearbook from my father's high school on E-bay and bought it for me. It is from 1938 and has a love note he passed to a girlfriend in it. I really love having it because it gives you a window to when my father was young.

@11, I'm so glad!

Your grandmother was a MINX. Come hither, indeed.

I have a couple of my grandparents' yearbooks too, from about this time (1920-22), and I cherish them.

Uh...who is the stud in the picture next to your grandmother...HELLO!!!! Let me dive into his knickers!!!

My aunt went to high school with John Wayne also.
