Roads' End

I told Betty about giving Roy Ackland a ride and what he said about wanting to go to Hollywood. I compared him to Charlton Heston and so we decided to call him "Royton Ackland" after that. Actually, we didn't talk about him all that much.

But, somehow, word came around that Royton had gotten himself in a movie, so we determined to go see it. It was called "The Alamo" with John Wayne. Roy didn't have a big part. In the credits (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053580/fullcredits#cast) , he is listed as "Ray Ackland", one of Travis' men. Travis had several men.

We went to the movie and searched for him. He was in one scene, near the end. He was the kid who blew the bugle. It wasn't much, but it was pretty exciting, because after that all hell broke loose.
