05-15 18:33
Mike n Rachel in DC:
We are looking forward to the extras this evening. They look very interesting!
05-15 18:33
Matt:
They do!
05-15 18:34
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Paris in the 20s and 30s was very interesting musically–curious to see the old footage of the city from that era
05-15 18:34
Rush:
I am not sure that one wasn’t shared before when we watched “Paris,” but it’s a nice one.
Worthy of a second look!
05-15 18:34
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Absolutely.
05-15 18:34
Matt:
Oui=Oui!
05-15 18:34
Rush:
I was thinking about it over dinner.
05-15 18:35
Rush:
I have been working on our presentation of the DAILY Chan comics.
05-15 18:36
Mike n Rachel in DC:
are there daily comics available now, Rush?
05-15 18:36
Rush:
Lots of scanning to do, and there will be “holes” which mostly can be filled bu “facsimiles.”
05-15 18:37
Mike n Rachel in DC:
just took a look…it seems the collection is growing!
05-15 18:37
Rush:
Yes, from October 1938 to about august of 1939.
It is definitely a work in progress!
05-15 18:37
Rush:
I will be fillibng in some of the facsimiles of 1939 with scans of actual ones.
05-15 18:38
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Nice, Rush. Well the comics are about caught up to where we are with the films now.
05-15 18:38
Rush:
Ah!
i guess so!
05-15 18:40
Rush:
Interestingly, I am not sure that I have seen anything from 1941 or 1942 either original or copies.
05-15 18:40
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Very exciting almost-plane-crash in the August comics.
Maybe there was a wartime hiatus?
05-15 18:41
Rush:
Well, it seems that the war brought the series to a close, perhaps?
Not sure, but I saw that mentioned someplace.
05-15 18:42
Rush:
Maybe Andriola the artist was called up to serve?
I think he would have been the right age.
05-15 18:43
Rush:
I had never thought of that, but perhaps.
05-15 18:44
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Aha.
05-15 18:44
Mike n Rachel in DC:
I think the draft got kicked into high gear around 39-40. That’s when my dad got called up…
05-15 18:45
Rush:
Yes.
05-15 18:45
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Quick check: Started in 1940.
05-15 18:46
Rush:
I looked at his bio and no sign of military servive.
05-15 18:46
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Hm.
05-15 18:46
Rush:
So, maybe he wanted to move on to another strip.
05-15 18:46
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Well if he had been drafted he would have been in WW2.
05-15 18:46
Rush:
Oh, yes.
05-15 18:46
Mike n Rachel in DC:
…maybe for more $$?
05-15 18:46
Rush:
He was nearly 30 when the war started.
Could be.
Always a factor!
Money talks!
05-15 18:47
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Dad got drafted in December of 1940 and finished his training on December 7, 1941.
05-15 18:47
Rush:
WOW!
05-15 18:47
Mike n Rachel in DC:
That’s true
05-15 18:47
Rush:
My dad was in the FBI.
05-15 18:47
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Yeah. Very few of his “graduating class” survived the war.
05-15 18:47
Rush:
Joined in 1940.
05-15 18:48
Mike n Rachel in DC:
I bet that was an interesting job during the war!
05-15 18:48
Rush:
He was in DC and met my mom there.
05-15 18:48
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Awww…the romance of DC. Rachel giggles
05-15 18:49
Rush:
My mom applied after high school and was accepted.
05-15 18:49
Mike n Rachel in DC:
It worked for us, too!
05-15 18:49
Rush:
She did secretarial type work, working with files, etc.
Yes, Mike!
05-15 18:49
Mike n Rachel in DC:
A two-FBI-agent family? Wow.
05-15 18:50
Rush:
She wasn’t an agentBut one of the workforce.
05-15 18:50
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Right. Dad was an agent?
05-15 18:50
Rush:
Yes.
05-15 18:51
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Have to remember that when “Charlie Chan in the Secret Service” rolls around. 
05-15 18:51
Rush:
I have a picture on my wall of him at the target range at Quantico, Va.
05-15 18:51
Matt:

05-15 19:05
Mike n Rachel in DC:
yeesh…this did not age well
05-15 19:06
Rush:
They should have smelled the coffee when they all had to come to Hitler to hold the conference.
Should have been in, say, Switzerland, etc.
05-15 19:06
Louiuse:
yes, not aged well: all lies
well that was the end of his career
05-15 19:07
Rush:
Later called “A scrap of paper” by Hitler.
05-15 19:07
Mike n Rachel in DC:
well, his master plan was to get Germany in a war with the Soviet Union, but Stalin saw through that and made a non-aggression pact w/Hitler
05-15 19:08
Louiuse:
How could they have been so ignorant?
05-15 19:09
Rush:
Yesw.
And the rest is…sad history.
05-15 19:09
Mike n Rachel in DC:
I think the British upper class was more afriad of communism than of facism
05-15 19:10
Rush:
5 minutes to go…
05-15 19:10
Matt:
Hello NT!
05-15 19:10

This is wartime, it’s squirrel
05-15 19:31

05-15 19:31
Rich Maine:

05-15 19:31
