In White Plains
In White Plains saw that "Macy's" had more <u>ACQUIRE</u>  <br>
than the other bookshelf. (Seemed to be a new supply  <br>
rather than results of being left.) They also seemed to  <br>
have started with 6 each of the Gamettes, 3 <u>MONAD</u>,  <br>
2 <u>HIGH BID</u> and 2 <u>TRYCE</u> were gone. At "Brentano's"  <br>
<u>VENTURE</u> seemed to be moving. At "Kluger's" and at  <br>
"F.A.O. Schwartz" in Eastchester there were none of my games.
 
<u>Michael Dummett</u> called to confirm date for tomorrow and  <br>
to say he would like to sleep over. Told him of  <br>
Dale having mono (which he wasn't familiar with),  <br>
but he is 45.
 
Called <u>Jerry D'Arcey</u>. No answer so I called <u>Frank Thibault</u>.  <br>
He has a lot of things he is working on  <br>
but nothing particularly promising.  <br>
He will send me a copy of <u>CONTIGO</u> - they are easy to  <br>
make & he has a couple on hand.  <br>
He was interested in subscribing to <u>S & T</u> <s>and</s> but I  <br>
told him to hold off for the present, unless he  <br>
is interested in war games. He isn't. Told him I'd  <br>
send copies of my column. Also told him I was  <br>
doing <u>PLOY</u> in the X'Mas issue.  <br>
He likes <u>TROMINO GO</u> and plays it with his kids.  <br>
"Samsonite" decided to put out <u>AMOEBA</u> in this country.  <br>
Their budget only allows for one new game and they  <br>
are not doing Jerry's <u>COMMODITY</u>. Jerry wants to get  <br>
it off the ground himself and Frank is trying to talk  <br>
him out of it.  <br>
Jerry thought that <u>AMOEBA</u> was like <u>SQUIGGLE</u>. I  <br>
told him how it was played - not the same at all.  <br>
Frank said there was one rule change in the  <br>
<u>SQUIGGLE</u> rules he sent me. I am not sure that I  <br>
have it correct, but I think he now allows a  <br>
