Thankfully we get lots of requests for new pages. Well…the wife recently informed me that my way of collecting my requests was pretty weak. She seems to think that writing down requests on whatever piece of paper or napkin or bill that is currently on my desk is not the way to do it. So….since she is way smarter than me….I have decided to create a page just for requests. Plus it should give a good idea of what pages are coming down the pike.
My logic in picking which page to do next….I lean heavily towards the subject that has the most requests.

Hey Mike. You are doing so much more research on classic movie box office grosses than me these days. I appreciate all your hard work. You should get all of this down in one place so more people can see it. HubPages is free….and where I started oh so many years ago. As for the missing westerns, I will add it to my list of movies to include in the database. I am frantically trying to finish Book 5 (you are mentioned in that book….twice) before I go back to full time teaching starting next week. Hope all is going well. Great information as always!
Hey Mr. Cogerson,
Thx for the mention in the book.
I tried that I idea of hub page on my computer, it crashed for some reason, virus maybe.
I won’t try that again sorry,
i will post bits and pieces on your site if that is ok,
Use what you want but if someone sees it they can use it,
I have done every money from 1914 to present day.
I just like your site. If you or they want to use them so be it. if not oh well,
Nothing gained nothing lost.
If you cannot devote the time like the old days to it that’s fine.
I never answered your survey in the past because my past is not very delightful.
I was just me for everything that i did. I do not have any personal favorite movies or actors.
Just watch them love or hate dosen’t matter. i am no critic or expert. Just enjoy them for entertainment only watching the different changes is great.
thx
Hi Mike, I also really enjoy this type of box office research and I have a background as a programmer and in data science. I have my doubts about HubPages giving you a virus, but I would be more than happy to at least help you organize your data if you are interested.
