WEDNESDAY 9 SEPTEMBER
1970 252nd day - 113 days to come
Called Steve Salomon at "Arrco." He said he had transmitted my
request for the SKARNEY DICE instruction book to Skarney,
He said he'd check but I told him that I didn't expect any
cooperation from Skarney himself.
Called Brian Blake and he called me back. Told him that I was
working at-home now and that I hope to be able to have him
and John here to try out a Harry Lorayne GAME.
Felicia called to say that she saw Anne (?) Dorothy Shapiro the
buyer at "Brentanos." The games are selling very well. The new
gamettes are being accepted. ACQUIRE shapes up as their
best seller of the "3M" games. Right now Anne Dorothy is mad because she
reordered it and it didn't come yet. I'll either try to tell
Dick Littlefield myself, or ask Jack Davis to do it.
Felicia said that she had a fabulous idea for publicizing
VENTURE and I should have Jack Davis call her.
She had good news from other retail stores as well.
Felicia bought the last copy of the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR with
my interview, but the president of "Brentanos" wanted it and
Felicia had to give it to him. She thinks she may be able to
get them to advertise a demonstration by me.
She said that Richard Rosen of "Urban Systems" had taken Anne
Shapiro out to lunch and thought it would be a good idea
for me to do the same. She will be on vacation for the next
two weeks.
Felicia thinks that the good showing in games should get X moving.
Working on the instruction changes & corrections for EXECUTIVE DECISION.
Didn't get to the covering letter to Kathy Brooks.
Brian Blake mentioned that his Flash Cards based on Lorayne's
memory system were not produced after all. [crossed out]
[crossed out] The successor
of "Hallowell Industries" was supposed to do it, and I suggested
Bob Hallowell. I looked for Bob's number but couldn't find it.
Told Bob Brian I'd locate it and call him.
(cont. from 9/10) [9/10]
in the column on the right.
For 2 hand each player has 16 cards, but only 15
tricks are played, the last cards not being used.
Scoring is similar.
Claude was shown FOLLY and PARIS, both of which I
have already.
Rcd. a letter and a game called WORD SOLITAIRE form
an AGOG reader.
