<u>Bob Gellman</u> called. He found an outfit who sells slides and has their catalog. He may use them if he can't come to terms with <u>Martine Gilcrest</u>, even tho the quality is probably not as good. Went over the cities I chose to see that they had enough slides. They did. We may change Abidjan to Casablanca and Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. I suggested that we get <u>Ruth Shaler</u> into a conference to pick the best sights for each city. (This actually happened tomorrow. Bob called this day, but I can't remember specifically why.) <u>JET HOLIDAY</u>. In the call he agreed that Bob would call <u>Felicia</u> to set up a date. | <u>Bob Gellman</u> called.
