Boys Will be Cowboys

In my LA political activist days (not to say activism has ceased) I met several times with Jane Fonda because of her work in the Indochina Peace Campaign. It's a long time ago, so I hope I'm getting this story right that she told:

Her father used to play poker with some of the other cowboy actors:   John Wayne, John Ford, Ronald Reagan.   Apparently they would dress up in full cowboy gear and toy guns when they played.  

When I first heard this story I thought,  "How Ridiculous!"   Now that I've indulged my own male poker ritual in Morgantown for nearly 20 years, I have a softer view of.. ..."kinda' sounds like fun."
