| Notes | The last time we saw Uncle Harry, Will and Jody in Treasure Chest was back in 1960, when Uncle Harry had just inherited his grandfather's unusual estate, which includes a narrow-gauge railroad that climbs back into the hills to an old silver mine and a great underground cavern. Cousin Fud looks very much like another Treasure Chest character, Frimson (The Champ) Wooters. |
