It’s BOO-yer

Oh, the people you will see.

August 9th 2008 in Randomness

We went to a friend’s birthday party, a backyard barbecue, last night and met an interesting character. His name is Roger Sweet and while working at Mattel, he pitched the idea that became He-man and the Masters of the Universe! Besides that, he also worked on the bottle designs for Scope and Downy.

Even more amazing is the fact that he is a 2-time cancer survivor.

He read us the back of his book, Mastering the Universe: He-Man and the Rise and Fall of a Billion-Dollar Idea. I think I will have to add that to my list of books to read.

He grew up in Akron, OH which is about 45 minutes from where I grew up.
