It is with tremendous thanks that we send out this Holiday greeting. We have been truly humbled by the response to The Unforgettable Buzz this past year. In almost every way our expectations have been surpassed – we’ve had many “Christmas mornings” since the book was released in June. We’re not even sure that “surprise” and “wonder” capture what we’ve experienced over the last six months.
Electric Football is one of the most unique toys ever made, and the memories it created are ones that we treasure. That The Unforgettable Buzz has played a small part in helping readers relive those moments…again we are humbled.
The story really belongs to the “toy men” who believed that the average kid would notice all the details — corner flags, field markings, double-decker stadiums, hand NFL painted teams, etc. — that were included in each game. Norman Sas, Lee Payne, Eddie Gluck, Brian Clarke, and Don Munro Jr. all played a part in creating the great memories we cherish. We hope their stories will be told for many Christmases to come. And we also hope that Doug Strohm of Tudor Games adds a totally new chapter to the Electric Football story.
So from all of us at the Buzz team, we’d like to wish everybody a very happy Holiday and a very Merry Christmas. We hope it includes some “buzzzzzing” too.
Earl, Roddy, & Michael
