Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact #6 [232]
"Fr. Jacques Marquette" delivers a quiet, character-driven moment in a 1957 issue of Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact, spotlighting the Jannis family’s ski trip to Skyline Lodge and the small but meaningful tension that arises when Mike Kelly brings his ham radio along—unaware of his host’s strong feelings about the device. Written by Max Pine and illustrated by Frank Borth, with a cover by Graham Hunter, the story captures a slice of mid-century American life with warmth and subtle drama.
