I called <u>Bob Gellman</u> and, altho I told him it wasn't at all  <br>
necessary, he insisted on telling me about their problem with  <br>
<u>Ken Morgan</u> - 17 1/2 % royalty and clause that allows Ken to take  <br>
back the game after 2 years. I told him that even from Ken's  <br>
side it didn't look as if he, Gellman, had done anything  <br>
wrong. Gellman said that <u>Felicia</u> had said that I was very  <br>
concerned - which I denied,// Bob hopes to come to a compromise with Ken.  <br>
Research Games will be going public in the next few weeks.
 
In my talk with <u>Felicia</u> she said that she had rcd. a check already  <br>
for <u>HIGH BID</u>, no statement. It was down from last year but  <br>
she figured it was because of the "pipeline" last year for the  <br>
Gamette.  <br>
She rcd. the <u>BALI</u> payment. About twice last year's.
 
To the <u>Richter</u>'s in the evening. He is looking for a job, but  <br>
still trying to sell his games, puzzles, and crafts. Thru  <br>
an ad (where?) he contacted <u>Arnold Edson</u> (I mentioned  <br>
my contact.) Edson took some things, including <u>WHIRLPOOL</u>.  <br>
Edson takes 50%.  <br>
Al had two new <u>PUZZLES</u>. One consisted of four  <br>
transparant plastic pcs. which are divided into a 4 x 4  <br>
grid (altho the lines are not on it). Squares of contact are  <br>
placed in different positions similar to that shown.  <br>
 
[Diagram of a 4 x 4 grid. 2 spaces are blue, 4 are red, and the remainder are white.]
 
The squares are on both sides and sometimes differently  <br>
colored from one to the other. Object to form a checkered pattern,  <br>
half red, half blue, and another patter I didn't get.  <br>
The other consisted of six triangular pcs. with patterns  <br>
on the 3 sides, similar to that shown. These are placed  <br>
