Question

"Like so many of my generation, I acquired an early fascination for dinosaurs. Movies, television, and comic books of the 1950s and 1960s treated us Baby Boomers to exciting images of fighting, feeding, and rampaging dinosaurs. Of course, most of the 'dinosaurs' in the movies were the impossibly huge beasts of the monster-run-amok genre, such as Godzilla, Gorgo, and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. Though wildly inaccurate, as every dinosaur buff knew, these movies did inspire the juvenile imagination. My 1964 Aurora Plastics Corporation Godzilla model remains a proud possession."
