03-06 18:44

03-06 18:45

Rush:

Agreed.

03-06 18:46

Rush:

Actually, I think that all of the negative hoopla against Charlie Chan at that time caused the interest to be worth the release of the videos!

03-06 18:47

MIke n Rachel in DC:

I remember scooping them up as fast as I could (Mike), not knowing if they’d be available very long

03-06 18:47
