Is your tag a reference to the old Hardy Boys stories? The Disney version of "The Tower Treasure" ("The Applegate Treasure") is DVD comfort food for me.

Yes it is! The books were a great part of my childhood (still have them). And I did see the Applegate Treasure on cable many years ago. I had no idea it was on DVD. Amazon here I come...

Leslie MacFarlane, who ghost-wrote most of the first 26 books, wrote an autobiography in 1977 titled The Ghost of the Hardy Boys. It's one of the funniest biographies I've ever read.

Well, I am glad I was a conduit for you to re-establish an old connection. I have watched the Hardy Boys DVD a couple of dozen times, much to the amusement of my understanding and tolerant girlfriend, who is Filipino and did not know anything about the Hardy Boys.
