Some of my favorite childhood toys were very simple, like the stuffed dog that my adoptive parents gave me when they picked me up from the Colorado State Orphanage for Neglected and Dependent Children.  My mother kept for many years.  I found it in her cedar chest when she passed away in 1994.  To this day, I have kept the first toy I ever owned and place it under the Christmas tree every year; the stuffed dog 63 years old now.  Many Other toys I talk about here as well.
