DaddyDeuce Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Just thought I'd post a little introduction from the western United States. I'm just coming out of my dark ages thanks to being the father of three lovely daughters. I'm hoping I can foster their creativity and love of understanding how things work with LEGO. My personal "Golden Age" of LEGO was a while back. This was my first set: I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but some sets I fondly remember include: 145 Building Set (1974) 420 Police Car (1973) 709 Police Boat (1976) 370 Police Headquarters (1976) 775 Fire Fighter Ship (1978) 493 Space Command Center (1979) 497 Galaxy Explorer (1979) 948 Go-Kart(1978) 954 Helicopter (1978) 956 Auto Chassis (1978) 960 Power Pack (1978) 787 Play Mat with Drawstring (1977) I remember one day deciding I was all grown up and too old for my LEGOs, so I put them all in that denim drawstring bag and gave them away to the son of a friend. I have no idea if he got the play out of them that I did, but I often wish I had just put them away in a closet instead. LEGO was one of the most influential toys from my childhood, along with Big Trak and the Atari 2600, that helped lead me into the career of engineering. Here's wishing that in another 30 years I'll have as many happy memories of LEGO with my daughters as I do from my own childhood. Edited January 31, 2012 by DaddyDeuce Quote
