invited to photograph old toys at the Strong National Museum of
Play in Rochester, New York. The Strong museum has one of the best
museum toy collections in the world. They are the home for the National
Toy Hall of Fame. Dr. Gene Metcalf and I were hosted during our visit
by:

The Strong museum is a museum of play so it is a
favorite family outing. There are hundreds of interactive play stations
specifically designed for youngsters. You'll see your children's favorite
TV and story book characters.

We were able to formally photograph many selected
toys. Photos of some of our pictures can be found in other sections of
