Griffs Jobs

Rich was a salesman, Dave was a Teacher and I was a salesman. It was
with much pride when we assembled our 1st 1000 games in my garage
in La Verne, CA and started to sell the game. Being a part owner of a
small company with one product was very rewarding.
We had a great time and took the game all the way to the International
Toy Fair in New York where we rented a Vendor Booth. Will never
forget when the Buyer from Toys R us visited our booth and we showed
him the game and gave him our Wholesale price sheet. We asked well
what do you think. The Buyer blurted out your packaging sucks and
your price is out of line for the product. We were a bit hurt but not
defeated. While in New York I visited the Trump Tower and delivered
a game personally to the office of Donald Trump… Unfortunately,
I was not able to get a meeting with our now President of the United
States. What I will always remember was the letter we received from Mr.
Trump a few weeks later after we returned to California. Mr. Trump on
his personal Trump Stationery gold stamped thanked us for the game to
review and said although a nice game he was not interested in investing
in our company. We kept that letter for many years along with many
other memories we cherished during our few years promoting our game
across the country.
