The man who invented the ETCH A SKETCH…

Has passed way at the age of eighty six.  Andre Cassagnes was a French electrician who came up on the concept for the toy while peeling a decal from a switch plate and he noticed that his pencil marks transferred from one surface to another.  When I was growing up I LOVED my Etch a Sketch and spent hours playing with the lines and those two white knobs…..it was one of my favorite toys and still is!   Read his NY TImes obituary here
