Wednesday 28 February 1968
Ash Wednesday
59th day - 307 days to come
In a store window saw a game called SKILLABONE. It
is a cardboard version of the game kids play on the
sidewalk, with numbered boxes and flat discs which are
propelled by hitting with the forefinger.
Rcd. a letter from Bob Claude. He will be at Toy Fair and
would like to get together.
The statement of earnings from Ideal came.
Ira Bailey had an idea for an action GAME. From his son he
got a large disc magnet with a hole in the center
and also a smaller solid disc magnet. By holding the
smaller magnet in the proper relationship to the larger
and moving it the larger one can me [be] made to roll around
along, some distance from the moving one. Ira's idea
is for two players to each have a small magnet mounted on
the end of a stick. Each tries to manipulate the wheel
magnet towards an individual goal. We will get together
to work on it.
Spoke to Annette Laurence. In the BAZAAR set I gave to
them there was a card to return for a small gift. She did and
got a rain hood, plastic and also a questionnaire to fill out and
send in for another small gift. She checked with me on what to
say about BAZAAR.
(cont. from 2/26) [3/13]
"Tigerama" & "Sunny Dollars". I said they were so simple
that anyone could devise them. He said that there was good
money in it if I could come up with something. Exchanged
cards and I said I'd contact him if I thought of anything.

In the various places I visited I mentioned my book and
the reviews of games. Only the little guys were interested.
Dick Conner took me to supper and discussed an African
missionary girl who is interested in games for the
mission school. I suggested our all getting together to
kick it around.
