My earliest childhood memories from the early 1960s consist of playing with Lego bricks together with a (female) friend in our hometown in Poland. Even in the dark days of Communism Lego was available behind the Iron Curtain. Later, both her and my parents decided to emigrate to Denmark. My friend Beata still has those Lego bricks we played with 45+ years ago, and her own children have played with them! And of course, Lego being a successful Danish company, it is a source of pride for me. I visited the factory while a college student in Aarhus in the early 1980s and was extremely impressed by the amount of high tech that was being used to manufacture these simple toys. I do wish you had taken the picture in color, however.
