SUNDAY 6 APRIL 1969
Easter Day
96th day - 269 days to come
Rcd. TASK FORCE (Helen of Toy) and PARLEMENT from Chris Wagner, special delivery.
Finished listing the games, except for some, such as S&R, which
still have to be checked out. Divided them into 15 classifications
and started writing the reviews of "Financial Games".
(cont, from 4/8)[4/8]
one a time in any order until the cap is exploded. Score one
for each hole before the explosion. I thought it was rather
dull but Felicia thought it might have something but thought
the exploding caps would frighten the manufacturers. I said
that a spring device could be used instead.
Felicia mentioned a new game she heard of which is sweeping the
south - SEXTET BRIDGE (though she had a name a little off). I told
her that I am sure I saw it at least two years ago.
Told Felicia about aco and TOTALLY-- and FITTING & PROPER. She
said that 10% for l.S. was fair but not to forget that
any real money I have made came thru I.S. She then said
She'd send me a letter concerning wh confirming what she said
Felicia said that showed me nice letter from Mel Taft
concerning Alice and asking if there was anything to do. He
also said th aske said that he knew she had a good thing
going with 3M but why doesn't she show him things.
She spoke to him on phone and said that she would show him things
if he came to look at them but wouldn't send them since
he sat on them too long. Also that she didn't have the flashy
TV items he liked. He said they wanted more adult items.
(I am not quite posative about this conversation since Felicia
sort of rambled).
During day called Parker and spoke to Hank Simmons. Told
him that VENTURE was my game and he said that he and
Will Erickson discussed it amiacably and 3M won since they
had the earlier date. He'll either call me with the new name
of their game or I should call Mrs. Merrick.
Returned CARRIBBEAN to Felicia.
