Bob O'Neill Writes: As a result of the newspaper article about the 2010 National Convention, I was contacted by my local library and was asked to do a Saturday afternoon program on A.C. Gilbert and his development of science toys. I found it a little scary at first but well worth it. These are pictures at the Kirkwood Public Library were I dld about an hour and a half talk to six kids and their families on the history of Erector and had a hands on session building basic girders and then letting them loose with a box of parts. The kids and their families had a good time and gave me some good comments. I will use the comments to build upon the program. I hope to do one with the modern Erector/Meccano kits in the spring. Several of the kids have them.
