[Missouri-l] link to this week's books And Beyond

[Nancy Lynn]

Do you enjoy talking  about toys? What wonderful memories they evoke  from 
childhood! On Tonight's Books And Beyond, we will talk with Francis Turner, 
owner  and proprietor of Marx Toy Museum located in Moundsville, West 
Virginia. Francis became fascinated with the toys made by the Marx Toy 
company and began    collecting them. Several years later,this terrific 
museum was born.     On a recent tour he demonstrated some of the toys  and 
told us the history of  the original Marx Company. Many things we enjoy just 
disappear, favorite toys among them, but through the dedication of 
individuals like Francis turner, they live on in great collections for us to 
see and touch. A machinist by trade, now a salesman for several companies, 
Francis speaks with enthusiasm about a man and a company that were a large 
part of toy manufacturing and history in both the United States, Europe, and 
Japan. For a nostalgic journey to a simpler time, just look below and 
download the show.
