As a ND fan, I often thought that the adventures & derring-do’s were possible only because no Mother was on the scene to stop her risky behavior. Boys in those first decades of publication were encouraged to have adventures. The novelty of Nancy having her own adventures would have been squelched by an attentive Mom.

Even so, Marcia, Nancy certainly added a bit of derring-do to our lives, didn’t she? How I loved bopping around in that blue roaster with her, investigating crimes and rounding up troublemakers.

I, too, was a Nancy Drew fan, but didn’t have a heavy loss in my life that her character helped address.
