That’s cool

Whoever wrote that book was undoubtedly a fan of the radio show . . . !

I wonder if they got permission from Dewey, Cheetham & Howe to use the brothers names.

The guy who wrote the book might have gone to MIT with one of the brothers.

I still like the "head of our working mother’s support group " ; Erasmoth B. Dragon.  
These are the little things I will always remember and hope they continue to broadcast the reruns for a long time. Any time these little references pop up, It’s a tribute to the bros.
