MONDAY 21 SEPTEMBER
St. Matthew, Evangelist 1970 264th day - 101 days to come
Sept. T & N came. Had a picture of the Gamette packaging.
Showed VENTURE and MONAD on top and HIGH-BID open.
Article about Gini Scott and "Creative Communications and
Research" listing CONFRONTATION, NITTY GRITTY, and OH PEG IT.
The "Hallmark" exhibit is covered with ACQUIRE in-
cluded in the list of contemporary games.
4 IN A ROW (Drueke Blue Chip Game Co.) shown in "New Products"
object to get 4 in a row on a 4 x 4 x 4 field.
Called up Bob Hallowell and changed date till tomorrow
morning. Ran into some problems on SWORD IN THE STONE
and had to change the layout of some of the swords. When
I finished Dale found it interesting.
Called Felicia to confirm our dates for tomorrow. Told her
about my Friday discussion with Jim Kraus. She wants
to get tough with them about PROFIT. I said that if any-
one needs getting tough with it is X. (Discussion - not an
argument.)
Claude called. He still can't decide whether to bring
SAMMY THE SWINGING DRAGON to Jules Cooper at "Ideal."
I reminded him that if he wants to have it for Toy
Fair next spring time is running out. He said he'd call
Jules.
He mentioned that his Queen's PUZZLE on an 8 x 8
grid is not as difficult as he thought it would be.
Making it 10 x 10 would make it much harder. I re-
minded him that X wanted something very difficult.
Got out FITTING & PROPER and prepared a cut out sheet
setting up one of the infinite number of puzzles
one side with a hint of two locations and the other
plain. Looked up the rules for the game.
(cont. from 9/22) [9/22]
called Bob Edwards at X. She raved about FITTING & PROPER and
got him to promise an answer within 2 weeks from receipt
of the game. Also if the game is not shown at Stationery
Show 1971 we can show it to others. She asked about
my trip to Kansas City and he said that was just an idea they
were kicking around and to forget about it.
Felicia called Bill Caruson. Tried to get some idea on how the
puzzles were doing. Non-comittal answer. He promised
to get FITTING & PROPER back within 7 days.
Felicia then called Angelo Longo of S & R. Gave him, the
big sell; Refused to mail it but agreed to bring it to
200 5th when he is there.
