Rcd. the rules for "Impact's GO SEE variation from Felicia.
Rcd. a card from Bob Hallowell. Also one from Jerry D'Arcey -- he had a good year. PLUG-A-JUG paid off; IMPUZZABLES did well. HOOKER about $1,700.

I also suggested that more competition should be provided; Walter suggested prohibiting a player from moving to a space of same number as one already occupied; I suggested allowing such a landing and sending former occupant back to start. (Later thought to myself: why not play on one board?) Walter insisted on my taking a set, altho I said I wouldn't have time to play it. Felicia wants him to work on it some more.
