Wednesday 15 July 1970
St. Swithin's Day 196th day - 169 days to come
Called Mickie Mackay. She hasn't rcd. STRATEGY POKER yet.
Will send THE CHECKERED GAME OF LIFE by messenger.
I told her that since she has only the one copy of
the game, if Jake wants it I wouldn't mind waiting un-

A later call from Felicia. Impact returned TOTALLY-- and
TROMINO GO. "Enjoy" has decided against games and they have

we'd send them to X, after I check them next week.
Called Marvin Katz to confirm our date for Saturday for
the GRIT interview.
Reading A HISTORY OF BOARD GAMES OTHER THAN CHESS on subway.
"Al Costellas" in the office asked where he could buy FOCUS.
One of his nephews would like a set. Al plays it with
his daughter & they both like it very much. Told him I'd
check with Whitman at 200 Fifth Ave.
He said that he saw BAZAAR in a different package at
Korvette's in Nanuet. I am afraid that he made a mis-
