FROM CHARLIE CHAN: “First sign of age when man cannot tie shoe from standing position.”

OUR CONTINUING SAGA… Our Charlie Chan Family Website has, for over 20 years, been supported by Tripod, a Website-building support that offered “Trellix” as a tool by which to build and maintain our site. HOWEVER, Tripod has not fully supported its Trellix tool for some time now, and, as time passes, it is becoming less and less reliable. This has brought about something of an emergency need to move on to some other support ASAP! We are, with the help of some of our Charlie Chan Family members, looking into alternatives. The worst case scenario would be that the entire site would need to be reconstituted painstakingly from scratch. This would be the proverbial mammoth undertaking, and, hopefully, this will not be what eventually happens! It is still hoped that we can “migrate’ our site to another support. Thank you so much for your understanding if you find errors or old information as well as a lack of new information growing at our present site.

At this time, a new support for our site, WordPress, is being explored, tested, and hopefully its inherent mysteries will be satisfactorily solved so reconstruction may begin! A HUGE “Thank You So Much!” to those who have stepped with help, guidance, and encouragement!

AND, AS WE CONTINUE…GREETINGS! This week we will be sharing TWO of “The New Adventures of Charlie Chan” television crime drama series from 1957, starring J. Carrol Naish as Charlie Chan, with James Hong as Number One Son, Barry!
