Posted April 14, 2009 On anniversaries and reunions: Lund and Company Invention, L.L.C. celebrates 25 years in business and service to the toy industry, as I celebrate my 30th year in the toy industry. I can’t believe it has been so long. I never could have imagined it looking forward from way back when. What a long, interesting trip it has been. I have recently been involved in the planning of my high school reunion. It wasn’t being done, to my surprise. And thinking it really does need to be done, I decided to start the ball rolling. Kudos to Holly and Vince for picking that ball up and running with it.
For me high school was tennis, and more tennis, building and launching model rockets, concocting UFO scare plans, upsetting neighbors with a concussion of M-80s, mooning over the pretty girls I was too shy to talk to, and I guess some studying, as well. Building things, rockets, and explosions seem to be themes that have endured. Thinking of high school brings back a lot of memories, as well as the reminder that our tenure here on earth is short. Life is such a sweet and momentary gift. Our opportunity to make a difference, leave a footprint, enrich a life, and contribute to the social milieu is brief. No more than the blink of an eye. Let's make it count.
