I called <u>Bob Gellman</u> and, altho I told him it wasn't at all | |||
necessary, he insisted on telling me about their problem with | |||
<u>Ken Morgan</u> - 17 1/2 % royalty and clause that allows Ken to take | |||
back the game after 2 years. I told him that even from Ken's | |||
side it didn't look as if he, Gellman, had done anything | |||
wrong. Gellman said that <u>Felicia</u> had said that I was very | |||
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. [received] a check already | |||
for <u>HIGH BID</u>, no statement. It was down from last year but | |||
she figured it was because of the "pipeline" last year for the | |||
Gamette. <br> | |||
She rcd. the <u>BALI</u> payment. About twice last year's. | |||

still trying to sell his games, puzzles, and crafts. Thru | |||

my contact.) Edson took some things, including <u>WHIRLPOOL</u>. | |||
Edson takes 50%. <br> | |||
Al had two new <s>puzzles</s> <u>PUZZLES</u>. One consisted of four | |||
transparent plastic pcs. [pieces] which are divided into a 4 x 4 | |||
grid (altho the lines are not on it). Squares of contact are | |||
placed in different positions similar to that shown. | |||
[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 | |||
colored from one to the other. Object to form a checkered pattern, | |||
half red, half blue, and another pattern I didn't get. <br> | |||
The other consisted of six triangular pcs. with patterns | |||
on the 3 sides, similar to that shown. These are placed <br> | |||
