Wrote to Lester J. Gendron, manufacturer of LAWSUIT.
Asked for a glossy and sent him the ''S&T'' sheet.

Wrote to Jerry D'Arcey asking info on capital gains
from his accountant.

Wrote to Frank Thibault. Sent him copies of my 
''S&T'' columns. He'll now have all except the one 
with INVASION. Apologized for some typos in the 
review of PLOY (His name was given as Rank Thibault).

Called Jim Dunnigan. Complained about the typos in my column.
He's putting new people on the proof-reading. 
Told him that I needed my press card and more sta-

a copy of STALINGRAD III. 
STRATEGY I will be ready in about a month.
Hecht (of Hecht-Vidmer) sent him to a company called 
"Management Systems." They were interested in a game 
for promoting "Master Charge." He told them he would try
and if he couldn't come up with anything he'd con-
tact Sid Sackson. They wanted to get me working on 
something and then choose the ones they liked best.
Jim, of course, wouldn't go for this. He has blocked out

fee is a flat $1500. I told him that was pretty low.
He said that if it was a success he'd ask for more 
next time. 
He has received a number of letters praising my col-
umn. One in particular also praised ACQUIRE, the 
writer saying that it was the only game he could 
get his family to play with him. He'll send it to me.

Called Phil Orbanes. 
Renwal may be on the brink of bankruptcy and he 
doesn't know where he stands. He hasn't been able 
to pin down Jerry Goldstein for a talk, when he does 
he'll try to find out about TAM-BIT and TAKE FIVE: 
tho he recommends my calling Lou Wechsel about them.
He has been in touch with Bob Hallowell and Bob Reiss a 
great deal lately. Hallowell is interested in two 
3-dimentional PUZZLE ideas of his, also a GAME based 
on Nostalgial-different memories being worth more or
