Message:: [QUOTE="Ducks, post: 212361, member: 5403"]Hi, Snazzy... and welcome to the forum!  Thanks so much for the great intro -- it made me think back to when we built our towns in the dirt on the hillside... building roads with our toy dozers and houses among the surface tree roots. You made me think.  We're about the same age, and I vaguely remember Tonka toys from my childhood.  I never owned one, though, but I kinda think my neighbor did.  Curiosity got to me -- I checked their website and they began manufacturing in 1947... so while they were around in our early years, they probably just didn't have the market exposure that they do now. I still have my favorite truck from when I was a kid.  A friend of my father's gave it to me when I was just a little girl... and despite getting pretty good play, it's not in bad shape.  I just can't bring myself to get rid of it.  I am such a sop.  LOL Anyway... now that I'm done reminiscing -- I want to say hi... and hope that you enjoy the forum as much as the rest of us do![/QUOTE]
