April 10th Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Joe McCarver was just 12 back in 1959, when he got John Wayne to autograph a brochure while filming and directing "The Alamo." He later lost the autograph, but recently found it in a box of Christmas cards in his late mother's house.
He contacted the curator of the Alamo, Richard Bruce Wender, who accepted it and will place it with the coonskin cap worn by Wayne in the movie as Davy Crockett and the Director's Guild Award in the museum's pop culture section.
