3M is also considering Alex' <u>TIDDELY GOLF</u>. <br>
<u>TWIXT</u> dropped off about 6% last year, the first time
that it ever dropped. I told him that <u>ACQUIRE</u> also dropped
about 6%. <u>FACTS IN FIVE</u> had a little increase.  <br>
Tom is negotiating with Hallmark for <u>Golomb</u>'s
<u>PENTOMINOS</u>, to be done in a manner similar to <u>SOMA</u>.
Tom said that 3M is close to dropping their price fixing.
It served a purpose in introducing their line. Now they
want to go for the mass market.  <br>
We didn't even get to the matter of Stancraft and their
miserable performance.  <br>
Met <u>Jerry Green</u> and <u>Pat Duncan</u> of "The Puzzle Factory". They are
dropping <u>THE DICTIONARY GAME</u> and are steering clear of
games. They reduced the price from $10 to $8 but still couldn't
sell. If they ever go into games again they will go to Felicia
first.  <br>
Jerry said that he saw something in a window at 200
5th that looked like <u>FREE FORM</u>. (Probably one of the
Pentominoes Puzzles.)  <br>
Met <u>Gini Scott</u>. Because of BB's being tired from Dale's wedding
begged off from an invite this week. Will invite her during
Stationery Show. She said thet she had been placing things.
Didn't go into details.
