	Maryann	Yes, I agree, you deserve to have a museum in your honor and a street named after you!!! A wonderful tribute to a great actor!!!   Posted by Maryann on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 4:02 AM [Reply to this]

	Phantom Phreak™	This is something that has been deserved for a long time. Too bad they didn't tell us how much the placards for the seats cost. They would be surprised with a little more advertising just how far this dream of theirs would go! I wish them well!   Posted by Phantom Phreak™ on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 4:51 PM [Reply to this]

	Lon Chaney	It costs $300 to sponsor a seat and have a placard placed on back in honor of the person or group in whose name the donation is made.

	Mike	I'm on board. Recognition of this sort is looonnng overdue. And Professor Dassanowsky really hit it to the keel   Posted by Mike on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 4:51 PM [Reply to this]

	Csam Csam Wheatley	Terrific videos! It should be a no-brainer to name a street after you!   Posted by Csam on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 6:06 PM [Reply to this]

	GONE HOME TO CANADA!	SHAME of Colorado Springs for not honoring one of it's Great Son's more! Like I said earlier...I live here now and I indeed understand the majority mentality in the Springs! If your 'different' or not the typical Uber Neo-Con WASP, your often ignored at best...harassed at worse! I'm glad someone is doing something to force the Springs to recognize Lon Chaney for his genius and work and again...SHAME on Colorado Springs for not do such earlier!! ' Btw.....I've also visited the School for 'The Deaf and Blind' when visiting a former Brother-In-Law who was a teacher there...not realizing it was founded by the Chaney's!   Posted by GONE HOME TO CANADA! on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 8:47 PM [Reply to this]

	GONE HOME TO CANADA!	I've lived here in Colorado Springs, CO for the last six years having moved here from Los Angeles and when I learned that you had a theater named after you, I had to go see it and thus, I've visited the Lon Chaney Theater a several times now and they still do 'Rocky Horror' there every Saturday Night!   Posted by GONE HOME TO CANADA! on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 8:47 PM [Reply to this]

	Winona Winona Patterson	Very cool (both the idea and the film)!   Posted by Winona on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 8:48 PM [Reply to this]

	bill	I found it Lon. Thats the least your hometown could do. Good luck and God Bless You   Posted by bill on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 10:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Carl Carl Perez	Well, it certainly is high time for you to finally be honored in your home town! Good documentary. I was blown away by the beautiful picture quality on the film clips.   Posted by Carl on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - 8:20 AM [Reply to this]

	Corryne	Not even a street? Here in Casper we have tons of streets named for townspeople no one would recognize now. And the most famous son, the most talented, gets nothing? I know that theater is in danger of being unfunded, as well. It is criminal. Good job on the video, students! What a treat to see inside the theater, and the School for the Deaf. Nicely put together! BTW, was a student playing the Toccata? That took my breath away. Wish we could hear the whole piece. Maybe in future work? Thanks for sharing, Mr. Chaney! Again, very happy birthday. They should declare it a holiday, too!   Posted by Corryne on Wednesday, April 01, 2009 - 8:12 PM [Reply to this]

	WillowrootFaery	Nice work...it really is surprising that no one thought to honor Lon before now...in his hometown no less. Whoever got the initial brainstorm should get extra kudos. I love especially love the inclusion of the clips of the inside of the theater and the deaf school, landmarks that I hope to be able to visit in the not so distant future! Hopefully by then this project will have been the push to help motivate a name change or two! Hey if the Monkees can get a town to change it's name to Clarksville for a day who knows? The sky's' the limit! Thanks for postings this Mr. Chaney, and please keep us apprised! An amazing effort!   Posted by WillowrootFaery on Friday, April 03, 2009 - 10:38 AM [Reply to this]

	Mike	Did the student's mention a formal petition or any way to support their effort? i tried contacting them myse;f but got no response   Posted by Mike on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 4:08 AM [Reply to this]

	Robbi Robbi Biegler	I didn't know there was no museum, no street, no nothing to honor this extraordinary man. I "found" Lon Chaney in 1973, when I was in the 6th grade. I researched (as much as an 11 year-old can) and found out about his parents' deafness. I think at that moment, I adopted Lon Chaney into my family. My mother and her sister suffered with poor eyesight and hearing loss, due to a congenital disease known as "retinitis pigmentosa". I understood the "tricks" he used to communicate to his parents. I think he's wonderful and if I feel so strongly about him, Colorado Springs ought to be ashamed that they have not paid tribute to Mr. Chaney. His performances are breathtaking! I can hardly wait to see what comes of this documentary! I'd love to see more! Thank you for honoring Lon Chaney!! He's the greatest!   Posted by Robbi on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 6:09 AM [Reply to this]
