...early days in school with Hardy Boy books (your Dad may have heard of them)...
Heck I’ve read the Hardy Boys... and I’m not even 30!
Interesting note about the Hardy Boys. They were initially written in the 1930's. They've since been rewritten to be a little more modern(90's-ish). We have approximately the first five books of both old and new here. It's interesting comparing the books. For example, one of those first five books featured an old water mill that was being used as the gatehouse to a large industrial complex. In the 30's version, Chet? made the comment that his dad hoped they would fix up the mill so he could grind his wheat there. That comment was dropped in the 90's edition.
