Following are some photos from the HOEDOWN FOR HANK from Craig Covner's collection. All of the captions are Craig's own. Actor Will Sampson was very ill at the time, but still turned out for Hank.

A spirited moment with Jeff Morey and Joe Musso, while yours truly (Craig Covner) looks on.

Hank Worden, watching a 35mm widescreen print of THE ALAMO at Joe Musso's place, 1985. Seated next to Hank are Danny and Little Charlie Morfin, with Dan Gagliasso and Phil Martin directly behind them. (Photo courtesy of Craig Covner)Another highlight of the above occasion was when Joe Musso called up Bill Chemerka and then put Hank on the line to speak with him. Only Bill will be able to tell us all just how he felt at that moment, though...SAYS BILL: For some reason I failed to see this original post, a post over four years old! But I can assure all that after receiving that wonderful phone call from Hank, I was taken back and then some. It was truly memorable and Hank was so kind with his words. My fellow Alamo Society members from California (especially host Joe Musso) were very considerate; in fact, they even took a photo of Hank on the phone with me and mailed me the image, which I still have.
Someone also posted (years ago!) that an effort should be made to have Fess Parker receive a similar star. I attempted to spear head such an effort many years ago. I spoke to Fess about it and he laughed it off. I asked him why. He said that he didn't like the idea of folks walking over him. Typical Fess. So I dropped the attempt

I thought his role in the Searchers was very good. I think the Searchers was one of the best films John Wayne starred in.
