Dear SwingMan,

Welcome "home"! Hopefully, this next year will offer a very welcome respite from the "fast lane" that you have been experiencing. Although your working hours may not allow you to join us for our Weekly Chats, it will be a treat for all of us to read your posts here.

As it appears that you have Monday off, please drop by out Chat that evening if you have a few moments. I am sure that everyone will be very please to see you again.

Take care, and, again, WELCOME BACK!

Sincerely,
Rush Glick

Sorry, Rush - I'll be working. My schedule is flexible during the rest of the week (especially Thursdays), but Monday nights (start work at 5 p.m. MST) are unbudgable.

However, on the "marathon" front, I'm currently in the middle of "Charlie Chan at the Racetrack" - the monkey just gave away the switch of Avalanche & Gallant Lad.....

My apologies. My initial reply seemed pretty curt.

Thanks for the welcome back, Rush. I may not post as much as others thanks to my relatively rudimentary knowledge of Charlie and the film industry in general during the Depression and wartime, but I can say I'll be vastly more dependable with insights and questions - as well as sharing thoughts.

Boy, I've missed out on a LOT.....
