He again said that he is doing <u>JET HOLIDAY</u> because he wants me to think of him when I have a game. He doesn't expect me to show it to him before 3M, but possibly next. I said that if they wanted a game on any subject I would work on it just for him. He said that his partner could come up with a game if they had a subject. <br>
