This is dedicated to my team, my colleagues, my cohorts and co workers, unsung heroes to the toy industry all.

 

Jessie is our office manager, my administrative assistant, our shipping department, heart and soul of the office.  She is terrific.  Words fail. She amazes me again and again. If I don’t ever get to tell them in person, I want to tell her Mom and Dad and everyone she knows something about how wonderful it is to have her on our team, to work with every day. She is always so calm, competent, diligent, conscientious. Never forgets a thing. Simply amazing to work with. Every company needs people of this caliber on their team. Thank you, Jessie. Now everyone knows. 

 

And there are others, current and former, that are or have been a joy to work with. Many have left a footprint here, and some much more than that. Like Paul, one of our most heroic associates whose effort and results working on the TMX Elmo line of characters is the stuff of legend. 

 

And Michael, who ramrodded our new office projects, on top of all his other projects. He is a master model maker/engineer. He created our Hydrogen Rocket system, the Hydrogen Powered Lawnmower for the Chicago Park District, our Hydrogen powered RC Vehicle that won an award from NASA, and he presides over our Department of Defence research work. He also sets an example to all of us weekly through his effort, craftsmanship, and dedication to the team. This, to mention only a few of the hundreds of projects he as worked on for us in his ten year tenure.

 

Oh, and Happy Anniversary, Michael. 

 

Speaking of anniversaries, this year we celebrate Krishnan’s 15 years of service to the toy industry as a part of our team. He brings a craftsman’s touch to his prototypes, a relentless pursuit of new ideas, patience and persistence, and passion for his work. 

            

I am indeed a very lucky man to have the privilege of working with these esteemed colleagues, and many others, in the collective and collaborative pursuit of creating wonderful new toys.
