is O.K. I said sure. He thinks he may be able to sell out to Parker.  <br>
Frank sees <u>Richard Moon</u> (who writes the column for the  <br>
''<u>SAN JOSE TIMES</u>'') about once a month. Next time he will give  <br>
Moon my address. Perhaps he will write, or contact me when he  <br>
goes to New York. Moon is very successful in his business  <br>
and does the column as a labor of love.  <br>
We discussed <u>PEGITY</u>. Frank bought the molds from Parker and  <br>
will also pay 5% royalties. I thought that he wanted me to prepare  <br>
other games using the equipment, but he is going to do  <br>
that himself. He thought that I had some historical material  <br>

have himself but that if I did I would send it to him  <br>
without charge.  <br>
He is interested in using <u>AGOG</u> as a textbook for his  <br>
classes - about 150 students a term. I will send him  <br>

He gave me a catalog (dated 1971) which includes among  <br>
others : - <u>BLOCKWORD CROSSPUZZLE</u>, <u>CRICKET CAGES</u>,  <br>
<u>GENIUS BLOCKS</u>, and <u>REVERSI</u>.  <br>
Frank is going to put out a set of <u>TANGRAMS</u>. He wants  <br>
