Hi Steve -
Cool! Funny thing is, those pictures from the Engagement story are of my
stomping grounds too :-) I live just blocks from Wheaton College, so those
are all familiar sights.
And if I remember correctly, I was the one you contacted about the cake
topper who put you in contact with LEGO - I know someone emailed me a year
or two ago about it but I never received a followup since the original
correspondence. Paul Chrzan sent me the same cake topper picture over email
and gave me a hard copy at BrickFest last year...
Congratulations!
-Tim
