| | | | | (...) in the article it mentions David Schilling and Waterloo, Ontario (where Dave graduated from). Just thought I would x-post this here. I am sure that it will be nearly impossible for most if any of our members will be attending. Looks like it (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) This article also says that LEGO bricks were not sold in the US until '73... Is this true? I did not know that. One of the *many* reasons I love being Canadian. My mom has a pic of me pre 1970 at Christmas, sitting beside a LEGO set my brother (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | | (...) Yes. I too (as David S does) once in a while indulge in a little one upmanship, since I lived in Ontario for 1.5 years, my earliest bricks are vintage 1967, obtained at the Simpson Sears.

| | | | | | (...) I received my first LEGO set for my 3rd birthday, that was 1965. LEGO sets were being imported by Samsonite back then - LEGO the company started their U.S. operations around 1973, perhaps that's what the article was refering to. Great article, (...)

| | | | (...) Yeah, that article isn't exactly complimentary, although she does get less "gosh aren't they cute" towards the end. But not all press is created equal, here's a shot that appeared in the local paper for the train show NALUG won first place at (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon)

| | | | | I really thought it was a reasonably written article for the lifestyle section of a major newspaper. Ms. Phinney was not really condescending (which many reporters tend to be) and I will bet that the article did far more good than harm. And that is (...)

| | | | (...) Well, we had a couple of very positive articles about BayLUG last spring.
