Mr. Henry's experience does bring back some memories of performing a garbage bag clean up every year or so. But the talking doll was too much as it reminded me of the "Twilight Zone" episode that featured Telly Savalas, "Talking Tina." Lawrence better be careful, the Savalas character paid with his life for throwing Tina away. br> -- Anthony Mastroserio br> Princeton, New Jersey /p> p> Mr. Henry, your article this week has never been truer or closer to home. I am in the process of cleaning out my cellar in preparation to moving. It's been 28 years and five kids since I have really gone through it. I am surprised at the amount of toys that have been hidden down there for many years. I think some of them might have some value as relics of the past but most are broken junk. My biggest find though, was boxes and boxes of Legos. Fortunately, I have been able to pawn a good portion of these off on my grandson ( much to the despair of the parents), in which case, 20 years down the road they can pawn off on their grandkids, and so forth. I understand the scrutiny you may endure as you take a trip out to the garbage barrel, as I have to pass thru the same myself. (My wife would make a good TSA employee.) Rest assured that your article probably hit home with a lot of us parents. br> --
