WEDNESDAY 31 MARCH 1971

90th day - 275 days to come

Rcd. a $5 check from S&T.

Rcd. an ad from PLAYTHINGS suggesting that maybe I'd like to have my own copy" (Discarded.)
Rcd. some more printed material from IDEAS. Rcd. a letter from Pete Swift. He rewrote the rules for EL TABLERO DE JESUS. They are good, but longer. He added one new feather "Running" which I don't think is good.

Going over the diary and prepare a small card file of the games to include in the S&T column on the Toy Fairs. Did a little writing.
Called Tom Nelson to ask for copies of HEX-O-GRAM & TRIPLE TILT by Lakeside. Told him about AIRLINE & TRANSFORMATION and he was glad that I tipped him off on them. In describing AIRLINE I said that it had a lot of opportunity for choice, like ACQUIRE. He said that ACQUIRE and BRIDGE were the only two games he and his wife played with friends. He has had 3 different sets and notices little differences. I explained these, and also told him about the new changes coming. He has the rest of the 3M games but only likes ACQUIRE.

Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim. He doesn't think Prof. Tauber will contact him. He has some more interesting puzzle ideas; also some games.

Mary Hilt called long distance to ask about the contracts. Told her that I already sent them to Tom. She remarked that the lawyer changed his mind after she wrote saying it was OK - and she had to fight him all over again.
3M found out that the company that did their wrap-around sports games was working on a similar package for Stan- carft. They objected and the company didn't want to lose their business. It was too late to find another company to do it. Instead she will get a triple-fold board for AIRLINE. (I was happy since I didn't feel comfortable with the copying,) With the wrap-around the price would have been $8. Now she can probably bring down the price.
She would like from 3 to 5 sets of stones for TRANSFORMATION. Would like them by middle of April. She will be in for the premium show, 5/3 to 56, and not the stationery show. She will show TRANSFORMATION and AIRLINE at the show. She did considerable work on premiums while at Western Printing.
Told her of today's conversation with Tom Nelson. Reminded her again about wanting a copy of ODYSSEY. She'll try to remember to send one.

Called Claude. Told him about ECLIPSE being rejected
