John Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison in Winterset, Iowa in 1907, but the name became Marion Mitchell Morrison when his parents decided to name their next son Robert.
Wayne himself however did not believe this, as from the early 1930s until his operation in 1964 he had smoked between three and five packs of cigarettes a day.

 John Wayne Airport Bond Ratings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Aa3 rating for JWA is the first that Moody’s has given an airport that does not have international flights.
According to Moody’s, the rating is based on several factors: the strength of the airport’s steadily growing service area economy; the solid origination and destination passenger base within the Los Angeles metro area; the increasingly diverse carrier mix, and an established trend of sound financial operations.
Another factor influencing Moody’s bond rating upgrade is that JWA has maintained sound financial operations and generated sufficient operating surplus to finance sizable capital projects with JWA reserves and internally generated funds.
