Well, Steve, I think we all are aware of the links and things, but the guy was just trying to help with his suggestion and myself, I was just trying to volunteer to help in anyway. No one is trying to put more on Rush in any way, most of all me. I just think the person was trying to help with the suggestion is all he was doing. I know about the Ebay stuff as I shop and sell there myself and the t-shirts and other things as well. I truely believe we all just want to help.
Well Steve, No one wants to over work Rush. But while all of you at one time or a nother here on the Charlie Chan family home site have said, in one form or another (and that includes YOU: Gee I wish I had that, or where can I get that. The Hat comes to mind now among other things. And your answer is to send them to about four or more different places.
What my suggestion was, and it was a suggestion Steve, is to have a place for the people of the site where most everything can be obtained in one place. Then you and others would not have to go to four or five different places to get what you want. And as of now no one has the right hat Steve, so you would have to get it made. And, what would you do then Steve, give it to someone else to sell?
Now as to overworking........................... Rush.....MAYBE....JUST...MAYBE.....he could hire someone to handle the day to day operations of the store so he is not so overworked. That is if he wants to do it in the first place.
So Steve, retract your cobra fangs a bit, after all, it was just a suggestion.
Ever-dently, I have missed a hat message here, liley as I don't check in often enough.
Want to inquire, does anyone else consider the brownish looking hat worn by Charlie (I think in an early taxi-cab ride) in CC at the Olympics PARTICULARLY unusual? A few weeks ago, we thought maybe it was actually a derby, and not a soft felt at all. I definitely wouldn't want to attempt to duplicate IT.
Now--don't ask me how I think a hat in a black and white movie looks brownish.
Meantime, on general subject: Are the second hand stores now devoid of period hats? That's where I used to get MY derbies, back in the 60s.
Second hand stores are still around but the unusual ones (hats) are now on "EBAY" and bring in the loot.
I too had my own ideas when it looks brown, black, white, grey and etc. There just seems to be a difference. I noticed today in watching one, Charlie had a plantation hat on, not his usual style, wide brim and creased crown and it looked unusal for him. I prefer the black one he wears the most. I like it even over the Panama "Optimo" hat.
My wife is a "garage sale and estate sale junkie" so she is looking for several for me now.
Enjoyed the movie tonight and enjoyed meeting you and others. Have a great week.
