Sent disclosure form to <u>Kathy Brooks</u>, together with a note | |||
that Felicia had already sent her one for <u>PLANES</u>. | |||
Sent letter to <u>Keith Tuggle</u> asking if he had rcd. my | |||
marked up <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> rules. | |||

(cont. from 5/10) [5/11] | |||
of a wire with a ball at the top. On either side of | |||
the shooter there is a net goal, color coded to match | |||
the shooter directly across the board from it. 2 or | |||
4 can play. Each player has 10 ping-pong balls of his | |||
color. All play at the same time trying to get his | |||
balls into his colored goals. After all players have shot | |||
their 10 balls the game is scored. A player scores 1 | |||
point for each of his own balls in a goal and 2 for each | |||
opponent's that landed in his goal. (It is a very expen- | |||
sive game. Players can too easily cheat by stopping a ball | |||
approaching a goal flanking their shooter, or even in the | |||
goal itself, and shoot it again. Also the goals can fill up be- | |||
fore the game is over.) | |||
Al and I played a game of <u>TRY-COLOR</u>. I think it could too | |||
easily become stalmated, with neither player being able | |||
to break a situation without ruining his position. | |||
After <u>Al & Adela</u> left <u>Irv Brambier</u> came over, Felicia | |||
had called him. He liked <u>BING-BONG BALL</u> but thought that | |||
<u>WHIRLPOOL</u> didn't have enough play value to justify the | |||
expense of the game. He left shortly after looking at the | |||
games - but was very pleasant. | |||
<u>Felicia</u> suggested that I get together when I get to London | |||
with { <u>Oliver O'Connor Barrett</u>, Forge Studio, Alma Square, Manningtree, Essex, England | |||
Told her I would and that | |||
I would write to him well | |||
in advance. Felicia said he | |||
always send regards to me | |||
in every letter he writes to her. | |||
<u>Felicia</u> showed me the letter from Continental Airlines rejecting | |||
<u>GO SEE</u>. (To difficult for casual play on the plane and not | |||
enough interest for home use.) Also a letter from Jerry | |||
Dougherty telling Ed Hart to go over the head of the one | |||
who sent the letter. And if not successful in selling the program, | |||
to bill Continental for work they commissioned. | |||
She showed me a letter from 3M. The foreign royalties in- | |||
cluded on our first quarter 1971 report were for the | |||
4th quarter 1970 (a disappointment). They asked permission to | |||
report foreign royalties a quarter later so as not to hold | |||
up the reports. Felicia asked what she should do about it | |||
and I said there was no point in having our domestic | |||
