WEDNESDAY 29 JULY 1970
210th day - 155 days to come
Called Jane Jordan and asked for a listing of the demon-
strations at the gallery:
Aug 3:-Mattel
11:- Stelledar
17:- S & R
24:- GROUP THERAPY
30:- Sid Sackson
Sept 8:- Urban Systems
14:- DYNASTY
[all above dates bracketed "week beginning"]
She was aware of the STAR LEDGER (Newark) article and
also the NEWSDAY which was on 7/22. I told her that back
numbers of the latter could be ordered and she'll order
for herself & for me.
She asked if I knew any places for buying antique games and
I told her of "F.A.O. Schwartz." She knew about it but not about
the warehouse where a much bigger stock is kept. Also
told her of "Lloyd W. Ralston" in Fairfield, Conn. (whose card I got
from Dave Kornblum).
Thinking of calling the puzzle TORTURE TOWER TOWERNATION
instead, but later decided against it.
I called Arthur. General conversation. He has perfected FOLLY,
but I didn't take the details at present.
He rcd. a form letter for the "Raymond Lee Organization." They
work on getting and selling patents for inventors. Among other
items they mentioned games. He didn't know how they happened
to contact him - they said it was in answer to his inquiry, which
he hadn't made.
Dale & Phil started a game of TRANSFORMATION but claimed that the
game went on and on with one player not allowing the other
to make a score. As I figured, they misinterpreted the rules.
I played Phil and beat him quickly.
Later Phil tried TORTURE TOWER. Didn't solve it but it kept him
interested for more than half an hour.
(cont. from 7/30) [7/31]
was already in production. (He had spoken to Tom before
approaching 3M and then had said "I really don't need
you, do I?" Tom agreed, but when the guy couldn't
swing it he came back and Tom did.)
After Tom left Hank took me to lunch. He said that he
hadn't realized how knowledgeable I was on games. We dis-
cussed the possibility of my doing work on some of the games they get submitted. I said that if it is just a matter of some comments on the game, I would do it
