TUESDAY 17 FEBRUARY
1970 48th day - 317 days to come
Barbara Francis called. She had some questions about the correc-
tions I sent in. She said that the original change in
Alex' introduction had already been set. I said that it wasn't
essential, but she said that we should try to keep everybody
happy and it will be changed.
She wasn't quite sure about the place to add the X in
the CUTTING CORNERS diagram. I sent her a tracing I made in the
evening showing exactly when it went
She thinks the next printing will be soon, possibly 5000, pos-
sibly for the book club.
Called Phil Orbanes in evening. Bob Hallowell didn't make it to
Phil's house last Friday. Will go there this week. He is anxious
to come here and see my collection. Wants to see games and
the EXCALIBUR puzzle [crossed out]. Phil and I agreed that I
should just show the diagram of the puzzle and make [crossed out]
a model only if he is interested. Bob also was
interested in the idea of CINEMA and the other party games.
The SENSITIVITY game came. It looked quite good.
Mailed ABBOTT'S NEW CARD GAMES to Pierre Berloquin (see 2/5).
Cashed the $5.19 refund check from Hamleys (see 2/2).
Deposited the Stancraft check, except for some cash back.
(cont. from 2/18) [2/27]
To Austin Associates. The one who handles the Universal
Games wasn't there. Saw an imported game FAIR PLAY.
Appeared to be a MICHIGAN RUMMY variation, but there
were no rules. Showed the man and girl there AGOG &
they were impressed.
Picked up the March edition of TOYS & NOVELTIES at 200 5th.
Back to office to work half a day. Then made repros of
OFF COURSE, TOUR, DAEDALUS, & FISH-FISH. Ran out of paper and
couldn't do the other 2.
Jan Rotchstien called to ask me about my inventing ACQUIRE.
She is trying to get a piece in the WALL STREET JOURNAL.
Told her the story in AGOG. She has a copy and will work
from that.
Letter from Kathy Brooks. They are returning ANOTHER.
They are forging ahead on costing EXECUTIVE DECISION
components in getting ready for a family panel.
(cont. on 2/16)
