MONDAY 21 JUNE 1971 172nd day - 193 days to come


Rcd. a letter from NEO Press. One of the inventors of PSYCHE-PATHS is in Europe and is being contracted about my suggestion in my letter. They sent me rules for POLY-Y, an extension of MUDCRACK Y.

Rcd. a letter from Gini Scott. Thanked me for sending her Wade Philpott's address. She will try to get a copy of NITTY GRITTY to send me. She expects to play EXECUTIVE DECISION at their next social meeting. They will be changing the name IDEAS to THE AMERICAN GAMES ASSOCIATION and will incorporate. She sent a copy of the MCCALL'S article on her and also said that Adult Leisure Products (ALPSco) is taking over manufacture of CONFRONTATION, THE LIB GAME, and TRIAL. Sent the IDEAS NEWSLETTER (Vol. 3, No. 3). Sent the IDEAS PROFESSIONAL NEWS NOTES (Vol. 2, Nos. 15 & 16).

Rcd. a letter from Ken Morgan. The Brentano's summer catalog has only the following games: CLASS, BEAT THE DRAFT, BRIDGETTE, HE-SHE-HIM-HER, and MOVIE MOGULS. He enclosed the TIMES clipping of the Brentano's ad of 7/12. Had HECTIX, EVADE, and SLEUTH.

Jerry D'Arcey called. His son is visiting on the east coast and Jerry wants to send him $50, but Western Union is on strike. He asked if I'd give him the money and Jerry will send me a check. Of course. Jerry is not sure that Chris will call me. Jerry asked how I was doing and I told him not so well so far this year. He said that all he rcd. this year was $1000, but he's not worried. He has a number of ideas in the works. He and Frank Thibault are reworking COMMODITY so that it is perfect. He expects to be in New York in a month or so. I asked him about [crossed out] CONTIGO, which Frank said he was sending to me. He'll remind Frank.


(cont. from 6/30) [7/8]

When Joel Gaines asked me about reviewing BRIDGETTE in S&T I told him I would. He thought that my set might be an older one and the rules have been clarified some- what. He gave me another set. He was interested in subscribing to S&T and I gave him the address of the skunk works. [started 7/8]
