The Teddy Bear
President Theodore Roosevelt was the inspiration for the first Teddy Bear in America. While on a hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902 he spared the life of a black bear. Morris Michtom saw a drawing of this incident and was moved by this to create a new toy. Michtom got Roosevelt's permission to use his name, and the Teddy Bear was born. Police, fire and emergency officials found that giving a teddy bear to a child during a crisis stabilized and calmed them, so the National Association of Police & Lay Charities (NAPLC) created the Teddy Bear Cops program to distribute teddy bears to police, fire, and emergency officials throughout the United States, for their use in providing teddy bears to children in emergency situations.

Classic Video Games And Classic Video Game Systems
Atari 2600
Atari LYNX
SEGA Master System
Phantasy Star
Escape From The Midmaster
Nintendo Entertainment System
R.O.B. Robotic Operating Buddy
It may be of no surprise to all of you, but I just love classic video games and classic video game systems. Yes, Aunt Martha, I play my Atari 2600 system at least once a week. To me the modern video games don't leave much to the imagination, the games do all of that for you. The earlier video games challenged your mind, because the graphics were so minimal. Consequently, the game designers in those days really had to be creative so that the player could be immersed in the experience within the technical limitations of the various systems. My all time favorite games are "Escape From The Mindmaster, for the Atari 2600 that utilized the Starpath Supercharger which increased the system's RAM, "Phantasy Star" for the SEGA Master System, "The Legend Of Zelda", and the "Dragon Warrior" series for the NES. By-the-way, just to show you how much of a collector I am, I still have three unopened Starpath Superchargers, sealed in the original shrink-wrap.

The Little Auto - My First Book
This is actually the first book that my mother borrowed for me from the library. I was two years old at the time. It was also the first book that I learned to read. Safe journeys to all the fans of Endyr's Toy Box, wherever you may be.

The Ouija Board
I have to admit that ever since I was a boy, I loved to play with the Ouija Board. Actually I got quite good at it, and got some amazing answers from it. I guess you have to have an open mind. My dear Aunt Martha says that a person should be careful when using a Ouija Board, as sometime bad entities take control over it. Oh well, I will take Aunt Martha's advice into consideration.
