The security system in the new building will almost replace Elias, but they assign new codes for each month and I have a hard time remembering that crap.

Recognizing 4 out of 5 of those names, a little research through the IMDB and Google gives me the following:

Audra Lindley "Three's Company" (1977) TV Series .... Helen Roper (1977-1979, 1981)

Betty Buckley - "Eight Is Enough" (1977) TV Series .... Sandra Sue 'Abby' Abbott Bradford

Bart Starr - Quarterback, Green Bay Packers (1956-1971), #15

Scott Bairstow - "Party of Five" (1994) TV Series .... Ned Grayson (1998-1999)

Jeri Ryan - "Pier 66" (1996) (TV) .... Beth Saunders
or "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995) TV Series .... Seven of Nine (1997-2001)


Which leads to the numercial sequence 3 - 8 - 15 - 5 - [66 | 7 | 9]

The only issue is the last digits, but when we find where they're needed, we can try them all.

Actually, it would be:

3 - 8 - 15 - 5 - 7 - 9
C - H - O - E - G - I

The only reference I can find to CHOEGI is a Japanese WWII sub tender sunk in Maizuru Bay on July 30, 1945.

But it still doesn't mean anything to me. Rolling Eyes

 		security codes
So I don't forget...

Famous Person - Birthday - numeric
Audra Lindley - September 24, 1918 - 09241918
Betty Buckley - July 03, 1947 - 07031947
Bart Starr - January 08, 1934 - 01081934
Scott Bairstow - April 23, 1970 - 04231970
Jeri Ryan - February 22, 1968 - 02221968

or some variation of the numeric as a code to the security system

Now to find you where to test the hypothesis.

 		I think Betty Buckley was also the original Grizabella in Broadway's Cats, which was an Andrew Lloyd Webber production like Phantom. Oh, and she was also the gym teacher from Carrie.

 		Maybe it's a phone number?

(503)-381-5566?

381 is a valid Portland exchange I think.

It is a valid Portland number and it's registered to Sprint. Should we risk calling it? I wouldn't want to disturb someone real.

 		it's a mystery
Don"t know, but is it birthdays?
Knnowing Marcus the code could easily be the numbers that Catepillar suggested as a phone number.

Marcus is no cryptographer or coder. I think he would leave a simpler memory aid: he would have to look up these birthdates each time-- the names of the shows and the football numbers he would remember.

 		I agree with Rose, if he was leaving himself a reminder he wasn't probably going to leave something that required him to look up their birthdates.

Also, couldn't Bart Starr be 25, since he's a quarterback? I don't know how big a football fan Marcus is, if he'd remember his number, but remembering he's a quarterback seems pretty easy.

Although, if that is/was his favorite player, he would always know his jersey number.

/me votes for the most obvious - the number associated with their tv or movie.
