Here's a new character for the UB series. Arthur Applegate. Can anyone say Hurd Applegate? What is up with this guy? He has the same last name as Bayport's famous millionaire, but he owns a mall! Why did S&S have to drag this famous name into the muck of the UB series?
Its like they're reusing the same ideas from the older books and puting them in the new ones.
The casefiles also did this with Applegate also. They actually used Hurd instead of a "relative" though. It doesn't bother me much in this instance though, as they its not actually Hurd. In fact, I sort of like these types of references. What I don't like is when they take established characters and change their characteristics.

Me either they changed them to much.
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. And I agree, wen you change the characteristics of an already established character, you don't know what to think.

Which Casefile is he in? ???
I remember Hurd Applegate being in one of the early Casefiles, but I don't recall exactly which one (I think it might even be Borgia Dagger, though I'm not sure).
I know its not The Borgia Dagger because I read that book yesterday.
Well, its one of the books that takes place in Bayport. Anyone else know? (I know for sure that it is not Dead On Target.)
Hurd Applegate isn?t in SkyWarp?s database yet so he?s not in any of the first four Casefiles or #13.
And Arthur Applegate isn't in the ATAC database yet either.
Hurd Applegate appears in Tower of Treasure(I believe that is the title of the Blue Spine)
Okay, okay, all you little weasels. :P
Do we really want to give out an answer to the contest? I think I should probably lock this topic until the contest is over. ;D
Not that it matters, but the book is called 'The Tower Treasure'.
It is the first book in the Blue-Spine series. ;D

I know that, I was asking which
Casefile he appears in.
According to the answers for the contest, Hurd Applegate was mentioned in #63 Cold Sweat.
Yeah, In Cold Sweat his appearence was his name on a list. For some reason, I thought he was in a digest and called for the Hardys help after a theft.
BONES CHANGE YOUR NAME BACK!
Oh wow, you actually took my un-serious advice :D
This is your fault! >:( :P ;D
Emphasis on un-serious. And I can't control who takes it ::) ;)
You sure you don't have some big elaborite plan or something? ;)
Nope. Somehow I just get dragged into everything or something I say triggers things ::)
That's why I used to have the title of Board Muse.
What does Muse mean? (I'm too lazy to look it up!)
the muses were the goddesses of learning? i think
I meant "muse" as inspiration, but I think learning works too.
