Met Bob Abel at Dell Publishing (750 Third Ave.), where he now works. He took me to a fancy restaurant for lunch. Interviewed me, but somehow didn't seem to come up with very inter- esting questions. I told him that I would let him know if any of the game contracts become definite so that he can include them in the article.
The meeting with Barbara Fisher didn't come off since Sergio Mahaldi never called her from the airport.
