Questions about the Mad Scientists Club
|
Hi Greg. I did see your posts from 2021, but I thought you were referring to more recent posts. My bad! To be honest, it has been about a decade since my last re-read of the Mad Scientists' Club series. Back then I read all four books but soon I'll do just the first two, those I read as a young teenager. Here is your post on the cannon:? "The cannon that Homer is interested in, and Charlie describes in Memorial Point, has an interesting connection to New York State. The Foundry was in Cold Spring New York near the railroad tracks. I say was because it was eventually demolished and probably became a parking lot." The cannon as I recall is a recurring feature of this series and I appreciate your thoughts on it.? As to the zinc mine, I just don't remember it. Which book(s) was it mentioned? On a somewhat related topic, I had written as essay on the geography of the first two books. This was back in the Yahoogroups day. I found it on a thumb drive but it was corrupted. I always print out hard copies of my reviews, essays, etc. but I'll be damned, I can't find this one! I'll keep looking but Greg, I think you would have enjoyed it. Right now I am re-reading H. G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Moreau." The premise horrifies me more now than when I was a lot younger... S.J.S.

Hello! Okay. I just checked the list, (Mad Scientists Club list), and I saw two of mine, both on 1/22/2021. One concerned the Old Zinc Mine, and the other the cannon. That' why I asked in here, See here /g/Mad-Scientists-Club/message/1 and /g/Mad-Scientists-Club/message/2 that one I posted a note describing some trivia on the cannon. The first one discusses the zinc mine, it seems it had ceased working years before the stories were written. I had hoped Charlie would mention that in his stories, or the author would contribute. I mean he would have done so during the writing period of the story, but the very first one only came to light rather recently. I'm not sure how many members the list has, but as with this one, I'd hope to cause a discussion. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@... "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
