Adam, right now, only Name, # of sets, and # of pieces. I am going to do a followup request after
September 1 when a lot of people return from vacation/holiday. So far I have about 25 names.
I have gotten a lot of pointers on changes to the letters. I am going to tone it down a bit, and
remove the reference to the Train Clubs. Also, I am going to send it to Lego Chairman KKK (and the
Executive Team) with a copy going to USA President Peter Eio. Stay tuned.
