Brian Blake called to check if I would be available for a meeting with
Harry Lorayne at the end of next week. O.K. He'll call me next week.
Rcd. a letter from Tom Mason, Design & Development Manager
at Whitman. He told me of Bob Engel leaving. He, Tom Burger,

ginning of June. They would like to get together with me to
discuss upgrading FOCUS. They appreciated my comments on
