MONDAY 28 SEPTEMBER 1970
271st day - 94 days to come
Called Mickey Mackay and begged off on our date for today.
She was just as happy since she has a busy week.
Wrote the rules for FITTING & PROPER and BB typed
them.
To Felicia bringing her FITTING & PROPER and jiffy bag
I picked up in a stationery store. Also brought her
the copy of the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR article.
She was depressed - because the treasurer at "S&R" told
her the sales of all their games (which includes BALI)
were soft - and because she hasn't been hearing from X.
I asked her if she had the analysis of FITTING & PROPER
that Steve Barkoczy 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 [crossout] rule writing assignments. So far they are on tape and
I suggested his not investing time in transcribing them.
To see Mrs. Freedman 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 TANGLED WEB 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,
TEMPO and INTERPLAY being on display. She said the line
is moving very well.
Felicia had an ad for a game for sale in "B. Altman" (from
today's Times). FIRST DOWN! (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 Kathy Brooks about EXECUTIVE DECISION,
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. INTERNATIONAL WARGAMER (Vol. 3, No. 7) plus a supple-
ment and a complete game SEARCH AND DESTROY by Bill
Hoyer & Chris Johnson. (The supplement was decorated with
peace symbols.)
Albert Field called and I located the Marshal McLuhan
cards. There was no manufacturer listed. [crossout] Even
if I give him my set he still has to track down
