THURSDAY 11 FEBRUARY 1971
Thomas Alva Edison, Born 1847 42nd day - 323 days to come
Rcd. the clippings on Coca Cola (which I found myself
on 1/9) from Felicia.
Rcd. a letter from Geoffrey Wheeler, editor of
CRAFT, MODEL & HOBBY INDUSTRY. At a trade show in
Chicago he met a Canadian wholesaler who
is interested in adult games. Jeff suggested that I
contact him:
[bracket] Edward Pomerantz
Savanne Corporation
105 Montpellier Blvd.
St. Laurent Montreal 379
Quebec, Canada
I called Jeff to get more info. He told Pomerantz
about AGOG and suggested that he get it. (Later
he sent Pomerantz a copy of his review.)
I mentioned the GAMEWAYS catalog. Jeff was not
familiar with it and I gave him the address. He
thought I should tell Pomerantz about it.
Jeff asked me if I was familiar with S&T. Tom
Shaw mentioned it to him. I told Jeff that I did a
column and that I'd get him a copy of the maga-
zine. We will get together during Toy Fair; he will
call me before.
Jeff says he is still interested in my doing some kind
of an article on games.
Sent COMBINATION & TROMINO GO to Herbert E. Salzer.
Sent COMBINATION to Anthony J. Gugliotta.
Wrote to J.C. Golda, enclosed COMBINATION.
Wrote to Rick Onanian - FACTS-IN-FIVE, THE GAME OF VOCABULARY,
ENTREPRENEUR. Enclosed COMBINATION.
Above are all AGOG readers.
Rudy Lopez called about my coming to see his two new
GAMES. Instead I invited him to come here Saturday.

be forced to, sell a pc. for half its purchase price.
There are three sets of 25 cards: Diplomatic, Financial,
and Military. Each player at the beginning of each turn
takes one of each. Some can be passed to another player,
some can be played or held, except that a player may never
keep more than 10 cards between turns. Among the cards
(but by no means a complete listing) are the following:
