Hi Rush,
Hope we can chat a bit after Monday's session... I've agreed to do a 4 week course on Charlie Chan & Friends for the U of Minnesota's OLLI Courses this summer and would love to pick your brain.

Len, I know your post is to Rush, but wanted to say I think it awesome that you're facilitating this course! I thought I'd mention something as a source of info (if you haven't already considered them).
I've always felt the mini-featurettes on the Charlie Chan DVDs are wonderful learning tools, and very under-appreciated. Of course, if you've seen them you know that Rush is featured in many of them as well as several other Chan specialist.
Some favorites that might lend themselves to learning:
1. The Legacy of Charlie Chan (on the Charlie Chan in London, DVD)
2. The Real Charlie Chan (on Charlie Chan in Egypt, DVD)
3. Chanograms: The Aphorisms of Charlie Chan (On Charlie Chan on Broadway, DVD)
