7 THURSDAY - JUNE 1973
158TH DAY - 207 DAYS TO COME
Call from Felicia. She wants me to be fairly non-committal
about commercial prospects with the game, etc. Told her
that that was easy, since I really didn't know much about it.
Got the SPECTRUM board into quarters to fit the old
box. Made a new label, handmade rather than using David's
label maker.
Went over the Hallmark contracts to give Felicia the info
when I got there. Just as I finished she called to
ask what 3M has of mine since she is writing concerning
SPECTRUM - INVASION, THE BRAIN GAME, and PROFIT (when she asked about it.)
Told her the following about Hallmark.
SCOPE - Contract signed 1/8/68.
CARRE - Contract signed 5/16/69. Extended to 5/15/71. without payment.
PLANES - Contract signed 3/10/72.
RED LETTER - Have a contract signed 7/2/71, a renewal for which we
rcd. $250.
FOCUS - Contract signed 1/12/73
ANOTHER - Contract signed 9/3/70
PE-LING - Contract signed 9/28/70
DIGIT - Contract signed 9/28/70
RED LETTER - contract
Entry in diary on 4/21/71 that they are sending $500
each for DUEL, TOTALLY, and TROMINO GO.
WINDOW PAINS - Didn't look up since they really don't want it.
INDIAN CHESS came up and she said that it is scheduled
for '74. As far as she understands they will pay
royalties even tho it is really in the public domain.
FREE FORM, PUSHOVER, and PAIR OFF came back from Schaper.
Rcd. a letter from "Richard L. Lutz", an AGOG reader.
Among other things , he wants to publish a game himself
and he offered me a copy of FOSTER'S SKAT MANUAL.
Downtown. Spoke to Jim Dunnigan about Larry Blandin (see
6/5). Jim said he doesn't trust him to pay for the games -
he still hasn't paid for their ad in S & T #37. Jim
won't ship him the games, but one of the Friday night game
testers is going to Chicago for the INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW
and he'll take a carload of games with him. His name (I
believe) is John Fernandez. I suggested that we ought
to talk together since we are both going. Jim said he'd
have him call me Friday night.
Jim had an extra ad sheet from CONFLICT Magazine showing a
picture of their game for issue #4 - NORAD: They also
mention RIFLE-MUSKET (Took the copy. Filed in '73 Misc.)
Spoke to Redmond. He would much prefer if my column for #38
