The ceramic mugs with specially engraved images and messages became treasured possessions for anyone who worked on a Wayne movie.

In fact, production and distribution of those cups was a major job that Wayne typically entrusted to Mary St. The Sons of Katie Elder. In 1965, for instance, she typed up a list of seventy people for whom she would have to get mugs produced, plus four more for family members, with special instructions from Wayne about what to write on each cup.

In the early 1960s, my father was hired by John Wayne and his son Michael as Chief Financial Officer of Wayne's production company Batjac. He worked for Batjac for many years, until after John Wayne's passing in 1979 and beyond. He continues to work with most of John Wayne's family and foundations.
