Gary,

Peter Eio is listed in the latest press release as being in charge of
Lego, Inc. in Enfield.  I also think that individual letters would make
more of an impact than a form letter.  I am assuming Lego will send a
form letter back, but if we keep it up, at least we can say that we are
trying to be heard :)

Whatever you folks would like, is fine with me. By the way, does anyone know if Peter Eio is still the President of TLG/USA? He knows who I am (he's replied to several letters about bulk orders several years ago). I would probably also send a copy (...) (28 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
