2 WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 1972
GROUNDHOG DAY - PURIFICATION OF B.V. MARY - 33RD DAY - 333 DAYS TO COME
Bernie Lane called and asked if I had rcd. a letter from
Xerox, which I did. We discussed the project and
some of the ideas I had come up with. He liked most
of my ideas, particularly the 3-D TIC-TAC-TOE.
He gave me the size reserved for my part; also the size
of the tables. I'll sketch up a tentative layout. He'll
call the week of Feb. 14th and we'll get together to go over
what I have done.
Rcd. a report from Random House. Earned $1536.00 for the
Book Club edition of AGOG. After deductions for returned copies
and $21.45 for books I ordered 6/30/70, I rcd. a check for
$1,184.78.
Rcd. a statement from 3M of my 1971 earnings. They made a
mistake and listed $17,786.05 instead of $14,278.28
that I rcd.
Called Jack Davis, but everyone was out till the afternoon. Called
the Skunk Works and spoke to John Young. It is O.K. if I bring
the column in tomorrow morning. Called Jack Davis again in the
afternoon. I pick up the glossie of Mr. PRESIDENT and the
copy of FEUDAL about 10 tomorrow.
Last Friday Daniel Mack of WRUR called. Asked for 4 games.
Jack found that the station was out of their delivery agencies range. He suggested that I pick up the games tomorrow and
bring them to Mack when I go up to tape the program, which
Jack understands will be done while trying out games.
I asked Jack if he had heard about a "Law" game. Yes - POINT OF LAW,
but he doesn't know anything about it.
Called Bob Gellman and I'll bring him the HOLIDAY material
tomorrow about noon and he'll take me to lunch.
Drew up a scoring sheet for HOLIDAY, corrected the rules and
BB retyped them, and a few other things on it.
Phil Orbanes called after a meeting with Bob Hallowell. The check for
NINE OF SWORDS was sent to an obsolete address given for I-Q
on the contract. That one was cancelled and a new one is on the way.
Bob Hallowell is very enthusiastic about the pencil & papers
game (AIR BATTLE, etc.). Phil thought that maybe I should
call Bob; but if Bob is anxious to talk to me about the
games, let him call me I said.
Bill Knox will be in for Toy Fair and Phil will set up an apppointment
for the three of us.
I said that if Bill Knox doesn't want HOLEY TERROR I'd like
to be able to show it elsewhere. Phil said maybe Bob Hallowell
will want it. I mentioned Knox' objection to having competition
in low ticket plastic items. Phil said that he'd have Bob Reiss
