You did not respond to my question? I need advice. Please respond.

It is me again the owner of the 1930 vintage movie star Model A ford pick-up commercial truck. I have a certificate to prove my truck is indeed a movie star but I strained my eyes and could not find it in the movie Public Enemies movie. Yes, I was standing there in front of your house shivering as they did the “Billie racing to the street” scene about 15 times. Michael Mann kept coaching Billie and telling her to improve her act as she rapidly darted towards Newport Avenue from the alley. When the scene was finally over, the Universal Studios crew stood beside me chatting with Johnny Depp. The two night, $290.00 per night, experience was a lot of fun. They asked me to stay a third night but I politely declined. Universal Studios treated all of us with dignity, consideration and class. The 3:00am meals at the church were delicious. My truck is sleeping in my Schaumburg garage and I take her out for a drive from time to time. Maybe I am asking advice from the wrong guy but I desperately need some advice from you. When I drive my movie star truck to Lake Geneva, I notice in my rear view mirror several cars wanting to pass me as they toot their horns. At 79, my old girl begins to show her age at 40 miles per hour. I, therefore, cannot maintain the 65 miles per hour speed limit. I am seriously considering hanging a sign on the back of my truck’s tail gate stating “Keep honking – I am reloading.” Newport Avenue guy and friends, please advise me with a “Ya or a Nay” as to your vote.

I have your address but I need your zip code for the “Big Bash”
invitation.

Owner of movie star truck,

Henry

PS: I will just address the invitation to the “Newport Guy.”

That sounds awesome, I’m sure the movie will be out before we know it!

That is good that Universal Studios took care of you. They were also fairly friendly for me, especially the security, they were really good about letting me take pictures. Last time I tried take pictures of a show was in the summer in downtown Chicago at Grant Park. I forget what they were filming, but it was some sitcom. I figured since it was a public park, I could stand outside the set and get a couple of pictures. I was quickly threatened to be arrested before I got no more than a couple of pictures.

Have fun enjoying the company of your new found friends and family again. :)

No no no Newport guy. They did have a warming room for us at the rear of the “Black Horse” tavern. They had two propane heaters in
there for us and we would hang out there when we got cold. They also
had a hospitality area at the west end of Newport where they had hot soup, coffee, fruit and anything one wanted. The Universal Studios
people did everything possible to accomodate us. Thanks for the invite. You are very kind. You know we are living in a global village. The Univeraal Studios people invited me to stay on the set another night but I politely declined. I did thank them for asking but explained to them that I was 73 and two nights was about all I could handle at that time. I told them that if they needed my services in the future, I would be available. All of a sudden, my popularity has gone from 0 to 100 among my family and friends. I can hardly handle it. I think I am going to take my phone off the hook and leave town for a while. Smiles :-) :-) My daughter Lois is planning a big bash for friends and family when the Public Enemies movie comes out in 2009. We will send you an invitation.

Regards,

Henry
