SATURDAY 5 JUNE Ember Day 1971 156th day - 209 days to come

Started working on OPEN BRIDGE. Saw that the physical work of the layouts with the cards would really be a rough job.

(cont. from 6/4) [6/4]

work on it for a split of the royalties. Yes. He'll send me a copy. He said he saw SLEUTH and asked if it was [crossed out] developed from CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN. Yes. PLOY is selling well. It was featured in an issue of PENTHOUSE Magazine together with some of Frank Armbruster's things. He asked me how Hallmark was doing and I told him that I had 11 contracts with them and that I hope they will finally get moving next year. His TOTEM is at Lakeside for consideration. I mentioned Frank Armbruster's wanting to do it. He knows but is not sure whether Armbruster is really in financial condition to come out with new things. The inventors of BALI BUTTONS and MADAGASCAR MADNESS have not been receiving royalties, or even reports. I told Frank I'd try to get a copy of EXECUTIVE DECISION to send him. But he said he thought he could get one from Bill Caruson. Frank is on Schaper's mailing list for requested submissions. He has several things under consideration at present. Next year Schaper will move into sports games and games for older children. They will stay with plastic. Stancraft looked at his CONTIGO and Mary Hilt told him that the molding costs would be too high for the limited number of copies they expect to sell. He mentioned the article on POWER in PACE Magazine and that he would like to read it. Told him I'll get a copy to send to him. I asked about Jerry D'Arcey. Lakeside rejected COMMODITY. He made some money in manufacturing. "Clik-Claks" but it is dead now. Frank doesn't know what he is working on now.
