A Heartfelt Tribute

After decades of much appreciated leadership and service, Charles Lazarus and Michael Goldstein will be leaving the Board at the end of this year's (2002-2003) term. Charles and Mike have both served many years as Chief Executive Officer and as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Toys"R"Us, Inc., where they both played significant roles in the growth of the company. Thereafter, they served the company with distinction as members of the Board of Directors. We are extremely grateful for their leadership, their inspiration, their compassion and their commitment to the Toys"R"Us family of stockholders, colleagues and guests.
