THURSDAY 4 FEBRUARY 1971

35th day - 330 days to come

Rcd. another Times clipping on recycling from Felicia.

Felicia called.
A physicist was there with a game she wants me to look at. Made a date to go there tomorrow.
She wants to discuss an idea she has in connec- tion with the Canadian outfit - "Gameways".
She has a card TENNIS game she will give me for my collection.

Dad returned the Hungarian book - KARTYA-KEZIKONYV, to- gether with his translation of the historical material. [Filed in "Game clippings" folder together with his other translations.]

(cont. below)

(cont. from 2/5) [2/5]

for them. She asked if I would be willing to do games for a flat fee. Yes, if it wasn't too flat.
I said that I intended to write to them to get a catalog and if there was anything I should or shouldn't say. Nothing in particular.
Felicia decided not to have me take MARLBORO COUNTRY home. She may show it to Garrity of Shaper.
Felicia loaned AGOG to Virginia Russell and her friend overnight. They liked it and said they would buy a copy.
Virginia has a son working in New York City as a programmer, and as a hobby he writes game-playing programs. I told her to have him call me about the middle of March.
Bob Edwards had called Felicia during the morning while she was at the bank. He left word that he would call back. Felicia said that they promised her that when they were ready, she would know before the press. We both had our fingers crossed - but he didn't call. In anticipation of the call she made a listing of all the games they had contracts for. There were 9 of mine and a total of 9 by others (tho Felicia may have missed some done by others).

[2/4 cont.] [2/4]

Gave "Mecl Schlossman" one of the old copies of VENTURE, with a new set of rules.
