THURSDAY 22 APRIL 1971 112th day - 253 days to come

Rcd. 4 copies of SLEUTH.

Rcd. a note from Frank Armbruster. He'll be in town for stationery show, May 17th trhu 20th. He sent me two puzzles - MESHUGGENEH and the other PUZZLE unnamed.

Rcd. a letter from Tom Atwater with a check for $22.99; 1st
quarter royalties on TEMPO, ODD OR EVEN, and INTERPLAY. He asked if I had rcd. a check for TRANSFORMATION and AIRLINE.

Rcd. a card from V. I. Gunther quoting the postage cost for BUNCO.

Rcd. a letter from Felicia with a clipping of a Times article on THE HOUSE OF GAMES and a carbon of a letter she wrote to
the propriator. Also that she called, he was supposed to call back,
but didn't. (Felicia wanted it back so I copied the info and
put it in the I.S. folder).

While I was out BB rcd. a long distance call from someone at
3M, whose name did not sound familiar to her. He'll call
tomorrow morning.
Also while I was out Felicia called to ask if I knew a
game, CANDIDATE. It seems that it is being requested at the
stores. Noone, including the trade magazines, seems to know
anything about it. I checked later and I didn't have any info
on it.
I did find info on a game BEZANT (Not BEGANT - see 4/8). It was shown to me in 1967, not 1965.

Bought 2 copies of PSYCHE-PATHS at "The Push Cart" for 49 [cents] each. The rules were somewhat different from my copy and
they provided a plastic playing area. Took these items from
one of the boxes and added it to the set I had from before,
which had a somewhat more attractive box.
Also bought two package of plastic pieces, rectangular and
triangular in 2 colors, at the 69 [cents] store.

Wrote a letter to Creative Specialties, requesting a
review copy of BUGS & LOOPS.
Wrote to Charles Wibel telling him that I would like to
review NEW TOWN in my next column and to get a copy to
me as soon as possible.

Mike Baschkepf rides home with a stock broker occasionally.
He was telling Mike about a great game he saw in
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN Magazine, made up by someone called
Sackman. Mike told him he knew me. The game was
PATTERNS II.

New York Magazine had a passtime (not a game) called the
CITY SENSES GAME. (Kept it.)
