Re: The Mad Scientist's Club

[Kyle Boatright]

Am I thinking of the same books/characters?? I remember one story about a
balloon race (The Great Gas Bag Race?) and another story about our heroes
building a boat that looked like the Loch Ness monster... Very good
stories. I tried to find copies of the books on Ebay a while back with no
luck...

Another favorite childhood read was an investigative series: The Three
Investigators...

Your friend who designed and flew the Facetmobile and wrote the song
"The Ghost of Isaac Newton" certainly fits most any definition of a
Mad Scientist.

I didn't remember the series name, but I remember this one.
I tried to get my mother to help haul a section of corrugated
pipe after reading it. My clever plan fell apart when
I couldn't find an old bomber nose.

"Alfred Hitchcock presents". I had a friend I called Jupiter
for a while because of those books. Never did quite figure out
how they rigged the latch in the dog's eye.
