They are working on some kind of study of games on a
government grant and she was told that I had a bigger
collection of games than any other (didn't know where the
information originally came from). She was interested in
my classification system and thought perhaps I could be

She was glad that I mentioned it and will go herself.
I asked if she was familiar with the book
''<u>THE GUIDE TO SIMULATION GAMES FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING</u>''. Yes.
 
Packaged <u>SKYSCRAPERS</u> (with a plastic cover). Packaged <u>DIALEMMA</u>

Had <u>Dale and Phil</u> pick up plastic and cardboard for
me at the art supply place in Cross County.
