THE THREE INVESTIGATORS



Recently, the little wife mentioned a new book series she had been reading, and it brought to mind something from my childhood. I told her that I had read a series called Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators, and we went online that same moment to look it up. She did a library search, and found several libraries that carried some of the books, so she requested an inter-library loan. That very same day I had written to someone I had never met concerning some other matter. This person mentioned that they had a couple of web sites devoted to some particular art, and when I visited the sites, they were devoted to the art of the Three Investigators series, and to the two artists who created the art. So why am I telling this story? Because I was just wondering what the odds were of discussing and borrowing books that I haven't read or thought about in over 35 years, and running into someone who has two websites dedicated to the art of that series, all in the same day? 
Incidentally, I'm looking forward to pouring over those books again. I hope they don't turn out to be a disappointment, as revisiting the things that inspired us as children often does.
