A Story about Major Matt Mason
by Wayne Reid |
|
Hello all,
I am 36 and grew up in central
Florida at the height of the space race. Luckily for me my Dad was into the
developing space program and everything that was going on at Cape Canaveral.
At one time I had just about
every MMM toy made. Unfortunately over time they did not survive trips to
the beach or the sand pile. My two favorite places to play with my MMM stuff.
Fast forward to 1998, I was
listening to a local consumer advocate on the radio one day and a caller asked
about an antique toy. The toy was a Matt Mason doll and he wondered about
it's value. I must have had some repressed memories because as soon as I heard
this the search was on.
This list has provided me
the opportunity to recapture some great childhood memories. I have bought,
sold, and traded some great items from people on the list, and have made a
few friends along the way.
Unfortunately for me my wife
does not get it and has me on a very short leash. I guess that is probably
a good thing because I would have emptied my 401K by now on MMM purchases.
I look forward to future corrospondence
on the list as some of it is very entertaining and informative. Good luck
to all in your quests to recapture youth and memories.
Sincerely, Wayne Reid
