Called <u>Rodger Hess</u> about the letter from <u>Bill Caruson</u> (12/21). Rodger said that he had an open mind about the whole deal. It could be any company, not necessarily "3M." Also, it doesn't matter to them if <u>David Frost</u>'s name is on the game or not, tho they think it should help. I agreed, but told him about "3M's" reluctance to have anyone's name on their games. Possibly "M.B." or "Parker," being more promotionally minded, might be a better possibly. I brought up the matter of finances. He didn't know what the arrangements were in the game field. I told him some of the usual, such as 57 and licensing coming out of that. He said he is sure we'll work something out fair to all of us. <br>

We left it that I would work on it as soon as I get some other, less speculative, things out of the way. If he finds someone else he will let me know.
