Everything I Know

I am back from Dallas, and ready for upcoming trips to LA and Las Vegas.

For reasons known only to the publishers and editors, yours truly was featured on the most recent issue of the industry's leading publication, The Toy Book. Everything I know about business I did learn playing with toys, and I assure you if it were a book it would be a very quick read. But I do hope that some of what I have gleaned from 30+ years of invention, licensing, tinkering, and discovery will be of interest and benefit to someone out there who might happen to peruse my meanderings.

God willing, I hope to have another 30+ years of doing more of the same, only better than ever. My hero is my friend Reuben Klamer, inventor of The Game of Life and many, many other well know products, and who is inventing up a storm at over 85 years of age. I only hope to be so fortunate as to be doing the same at his age.

I will be giving the opening remarks at the upcoming Chicago Toy and Game show, open to the public and brought to Chicago and the world by the indefatigable Ms. Mary Couzin, the hardest working woman in the toy industry. Lund and Company Invention will also be a sponsor of the Young Inventors Challenge at the show.

See you there!

Looking forward to hearing your talk @ ChiTag! I've just started following your blocks vis a vis Twitter. I like your insights.

What Bruce doesn't mention is that he is being honored for his indefatigable humanitarian works at the TAGIE Awards with the Humanitarian of the Year Award. He is much more than a creative genius - he has a enormous heart. He uses both to bring happiness to many. His hero and friend, Reuben Klamer, is being honored for Lifetime Achievement. They are both my heroes.

Sorry it took me so long to find these comments and respond. Thank you for your interest Nate. Look forward to meeting you at ChiTag. Glad you find some meat on the bones of my musings. After a point in life, one hopes to have the chance to pass along to others some value from lessons learned, and knowlege hard earned.
all the best

Mary;
in the dictionary besides indefatigable, if your dictionary actually HAS that word, would be your picture. You do more for the toy industry in the eyes of the public, than they do for themselves. Hope you get on the toy Hall of Fame, and a MacArther grant, as well as win the PowerBall Lottery.
You are one of my heroes
