Holiday Gift Reviews & Giveaway: Strawberry Shortcake
When I was a junior at Rhode Island College, I had the honor of working that summer for Hasbro, a family toy business located in Pawtucket, R.I. I was a secretary for Bill Daly, VP Human Resources.
My first day was like walking into Disneyland - that tingly, excited ethereal feeling that you get when you see something wonderful. The purple, plum, and cerise hallways, magenta ceilings - and happy, happy people.
My supervisor walked me straight into the warehouse. “Ok,” he said, “pick out the toys you want for your desk.” What a dream job! Those were the days when Steven Hassenfeld stopped by your desk with a smile, and you sat across from your boss with a cup of coffee, smiling and joking. He was a jovial, kind and caring presence. From the warehouse I picked Strawberry Shortcake and Weebles. (Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down). That was my mantra! When, at the end of the summer, I was offered the job permanently by Mr. Daly, I burst into tears. I had fought very hard to get to college and I HAD to finish. I said no.
So when the Strawberry Shortcake Sweet Surprise Strawberry Shortcake Doll
