Back in the mid or late 1990s, when Paramount released THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY onto DVD, they had a huge event at the studio. Surviving members of the cast were there for the screening and dinner, and we all got a package of John Wayne movies on DVD, as well as a HIGH AND THE MIGHTY T-shirt, which I still have.
I recall sitting at a table with Gonzolez-Gonzolez, a charming man.
