The confusion about "no photos" might have been caused by the fact that I was there only for a radio interview. I was told at the time "no photos." I only did as they requeated. Of course, "Sesame Street" has more clout than I do. Dennis

In 1958 the number of colors increased to 64. Eight fluorescent colors were introduced in 1972, increasing the total number of colors to 72. I remember getting the first year 64 crayon box with the shapener in my area for a Christmas gift in 1966. I remember getting the 30 pack wooden Laurentian pencil crayons two years later in 1968. The last crayons of any type I had bought for me was in 1969. Everything else after was multi paint colour sets.

the video said photos were not allowed inside the factory. i wanted to SEE how they are made. Suze Weinberg AND even Sesame Street's videos SHOW how they are made...they DO allow photos!
