Rush: Chabing is one of three names she went by.
Hawaii_Steve: Interesting. selection.
mda19083: I also have 3 names I go by – no details will be forthcoming from me on that though

Rush: MDA…:)
mda19083: I am in the witness protection program
Rush: AH!
Rush: 🙂
Hawaii_Steve: You are so correct, Mr. Rush.

mda19083: what!
Rush: Yes, steve?
Rush: Yes…winter knocks at Fall’s door!
Hawaii_Steve: It states that only two Monogram buildings are standing today (1990).
Rush: Supposed to have higher temps later this week.
Matt1: How is the family adapting to the change of seasons, Rush…..especially the cold & snow?
Rush: How many buildings were there originally?
mda19083: the annotated jeckyl and hyde will be released tomorrow
Rush: Do we know?
Hawaii_Steve: “The Story of a Haunting Collaboration” by Gregory William Mank.
Rush: Or, was it sort of a mish-mash of structures?
Rush: Sounds like a good one, Steve.
mda19083: where abouts was the M studio located?
Hawaii_Steve: There is conflicting information about the buildings and number of stages at Monogram.
Hawaii_Steve: Sunset Blvd.
Hawaii_Steve: Hollywood
mda19083: thanks – I am ready for my close up
Hawaii_Steve: I have read about two large studios and one small studio.

Hawaii_Steve: As a tour guide at the SS Missouri, we spoke often about MacArthur. Never heard any of this stuff.
Rush: I would guess not!
mda19083: it is on You Tube – it must be true
