I am being afterwise here, but it springs to mind that editors would 
have been made happy by simply inserting one extra page at the beginning 
setting the whole thing up as trip down to memory lane.

DD: "Good ol' Bolivar!! You boys remember how we met him?"
HDL: "Sure do, unce Donald. That was some adventure..."
Daisy: "I haven't heard that one. Do tell me."

Okay, adding a page probably isn't simple. Have to dig up that story and 
reread it.
