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.
