Hi folks,

I am told (by the copy desk editor who just called me) that there'll be a
big surprise in the Toronto Star's Sunday edition, tomorrow.

I got my copy.

The amazing thing is that from even a short distance, you wouldn't notice
anything unusual about the logo.  Very well done!

Ahead of time, thanks to Derek Raycraft and Jeff Van Winden for helping out
with the "big project" as well as Dave for opening his home for photos.  Big
announcement, scans, details tomorrow morning, once it runs.

Nice fire station Dave.  Have you posted pics of it online before?  If so,
I've missed it until now.  Good work.

So here's my question.  Did the Star approach someone from rtlToronto?  Or
did someone from the group approach the Star with the idea for a 'lifestyle'
article?  Just curious.

Thanks to those who participated for presenting adult LEGO builders in such
a positive light.

Regards,
Allan B.

*My only beef is that I wish the copy editor had taken the time to
investigate the proper capitalization of the LEGO company name.  It's like
spelling Kleenex with a small 'k', it shouldn't really happen.  :)

(...) COOL! Anyone scan it, or is there an online edition of the Star that features it? I found their site www.thestar.com but it's on the 22nd already, and didn't (in 2 min of searching) find how to see yesterday. (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Thanks! (...) We were approached by the Star by Chris Sorensen to do an article with them. They interviewed Chris and me on the phone, then came out to the December dinner at the local Swiss Chalet. A week later, the request came from the Star (...)

Hi folks, I am told (by the copy desk editor who just called me) that there'll be a big surprise in the Toronto Star's Sunday edition, tomorrow. I encourage all of our Ontario Lego friends to go out and pick up a copy of the Star tomorrow morning. (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca) !
