FRIDAY 19 MARCH 1971

St. Joseph 78th day - 287 days to come

Rcd. a personal letter from Mary Hilt, addressed to BB & me. Thanked us for the dinner.
She got an OK from the Saxon man, "Templin", to have the contract changed similar to the 3M and it is now only a matter of getting the B. & B. lawyer to move on it. She is going ahead on AIRLINE and TRANSFORMATION and has put them in the catalog.

Thinking of a GAME idea. Use rotating wheels to create a changeable board similar to the one for RIDE-A-RAY. (Just a germ of an idea.)

Rcd. a personal letter from Mary Hilt. She thanked us for the invite. She got an OK from the Saxon representative for the contract change & she is putting TRANSFORMATION and AIRLINE in the catalog. She hopes that Felicia will now send her CINEMA and NOMINATION.

NEW YORK Magazine had an ad for WHO CAN BEAT NIXON? (Gambit Games c/o THE NEW REPUBLIC) (Filed in '71 Ad Clips.)

Wrote to: Don Greenwood - can't write for PANZERFAUST for some time; HAK - apologies for not testing TICKER TAPE yet; Don Miller - with $1.25 dues; Dave Calkins - with PLOY review.

Called Rudy Lopez. Not in. His wife will have him call.

Played a game of BOUNDARY with Phil Laurence. Good. I was two pcs. behind and came back to win.
Played PLANES, Phil & me against BB & Annette. Phil & I were so far ahead that we didn't finish.

In my letter to Don Greenwood enclosed three dollars for a year's subscription to PANZERFAUST, altho I still had a few issues to go.

There are some more ramifications, such as (I believe) collecting 100 if their color shows up 4 times (Quadrume) with silver. There is also betting on pairs and, possibly, other combinations.
