Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

What a strange, small world. I know him from a small company named Lakeside in Minneapolis where he and I worked about 15 years ago.

Hi,

Yes it is a small world. I remember Tim worked at Lakeside too. That's a Toy manufacturing company IIRC...

Used to be. They made "Barrel of Monkeys", "Gumby" and other bendies in the 60s and 70s. In the 80s and 90s they made advertising displays for beer companies. Most Budweiser pool table lamps are Lakeside products. Those are the products that Tim and I worked on.

The toy company evolved into Jax, Ltd. They make card/board games like Sequence, Kings in the Corner and Poker games among others.

My wife and I just got back from our Honeymoon in the Bahamas ( actually we got back on the 9th but I’ve been to busy catching up at work to post on the forum ) :

Took a nice ride to Milwaukee for some Christmas shopping today. I didn’t miss Chicago while we were gone but I sure did miss my car !
