Wow, I just checked your web page and read this:
"For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed building with Lego
bricks. The first set I remember actually buying with my own
money is the yellow castle set #375/6075. [which is here:
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=6075-2 -ed]
I paid around $50 to buy it from a Service Merchandise department
store. I had saved up all summer for it." [1]
I was at my local town dump the other day and picked up a box of LEGO pieces
that someone had just left on the "take it or leave it" pile, and it was a real
find -- a large collection of old pieces, most in good condition. But I was
really puzzled by how many yellow bricks it had, and why there were so many
yellow minifig heads with no bodies or faces (was this kid sadistic? 8-), and
lots of black 1x2 inverted roof bricks. I guess I must have what's left of one
of those yellow castle sets! (Alas, 1 or 2 arches are missing so I can't
actually build the castle)
