Called <u>Mickey Mackay</u> and begged off on our date for today.
She was just as happy since she has a busy week.
Wrote the rules for <u>FITTING & PROPER</u> and BB typed
them.
To <u>Felicia</u> bringing her <u>FITTING & PROPER</u> and a jiffy bag
I picked up in a stationery store. Also brought her
the copy of the <u>''CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR''</u> article.
She was depressed - because the treasurer at "S&R" told
her the sales of all their games (which includes <u>BALI</u>)
were soft - and because she hasn't been hearing from X.
I asked her if she had the analysis of <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>
that <u>Steve Barkoczy</u> did. She didn't but she called him
and I spoke to him. What he did was come up with a
set of rules just to show Felicia he could do it - in hope
of rule writing assignments. So far they are on tape and
I suggested his not investing time in transcribing them.
To see <u>Mrs. Freedman</u> of "Bridgepoint" (see 8/20). There
before going to Felicia but she was busy. Returned af-
ter and talked for an hour and a half (mainly she
talked about graphoanalysis, including her analysis of my
writing). Showed her <u>TANGLED WEB</u> and she liked it. However
they (Bridgepoint I guess) are not putting out anything till
next spring. She suggested dropping in occasionally and show-
ing whatever I have available.
At her showroom they handle the Stancraft games,
<u>TEMPO</u> and <u>INTERPLAY</u> being on display. She said the line
is moving very well.
<u>Felicia</u> had an ad for a game for sale in "B. Altman" (from
today's ''Times''). <u>FIRST DOWN!</u> (TGD Games) $15.00. Contains
40 basic plays on 20 play cards, defense card, information chart,
offensive and defensive pieces, dice, etc.
Rcd. a letter from <u>Kathy Brooks</u> about <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>,
the fact that the market calculator only goes up to
24 units and 36 can be ordered (but she overlooked
the fact that they are divided between 3 types of ma-
terial).
Rcd. <u>''INTERNATIONAL WARGAMER''</u> (Vol. 3, No. 7) plus a supple-
ment and a complete game <u>SEARCH AND DESTROY</u> by <u>Bill
Hoyer</u> & <u>Chris Johnson</u>. (The supplement was decorated with
peace symbols.)
<u>Albert Field</u> called and I located the <u>Marshal McLuhan</u>
cards. There was no manufacturer listed. [crossed out] Even
if I give him my set he still has to track down
