John Ford, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O' Hara signed AFI program

Here's an interesting one. It's a 1973 program for the American Film Institute's salute to director John Ford.  

The program contains what looks like the old age inscription and signature of Ford and signatures of attendees John Wayne, James Stewart and Maureen O' Hara. Of course Ford worked with all three. They are all in blue ballpoint pen. If real, it seems like a very historic piece. 

How does this look to you guys?  It looks pretty favorable to me. I'd definitely appreciate hearing your thoughts.

This AFI program with Ford, Wayne, Stewart and O'Hara signatures just got a Likely To Pass Full Authentication from Beckett's quick opinion Signature Review. Definitely would appreciate any thoughts from members here....

In my humble opinion the Stewart ,Wayne and O'hara are good…..So that would help validate that very old age Jack Ford that bears characteristics of his younger autographs.

Thanks for weighing in, David.  John Ford was the first recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award which was presented to him on March 31, 1973, which this signed program is from.  At the time he was struggling with cancer which he would eventually succumb later in the year at the end of August.

+1, especially Wayne looks good to me, O'Hara too.

Can't tell about Ford.
