Featured at our meeting were Victor Reiling accompanied by his wife Nancy. Victor could say he has been playing around with toys all his life. He turned his interest into a position at Fisher Price and even now works to develop new toys for all ages. He turned his interest into a collection by acquiring some very old and antique toys, which he was kind enough to bring to our meeting.
