2 THURSDAY - MARCH 1972
TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY - 62ND DAY - 304 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim. Sent me repro of covering letter
from ALPSCO. He rcd. $193.83 for 2769 games. 1972 looks like
it will be better.
Sent drawing of board for STOPLO, but no rules, since they are in
Hebrew. Sent the Hebrew rules for LET ME THINK together with
some comments. Also sent some more info on BITS.
Described ANTI-GRAVITATION, an action game I know under other names.

Called Bernie Lane to tell him about COMPUTAMATIC FOOTBALL, and that
it had been a big hit at Hallmark. He said to get it. Started
talking some more and he called me back.
The Xerox shop needs complete details on all the construction. I
said I could do it on everything except the wiring. The electric
football is, of course, replaced and he said I should also
leave out the electric NIM game. We decided I'd leave it
till last.
Made a date for me to bring the drawings to him next Thursday
at 2:00 P.M. I'll put them on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets so that
he can run off duplicates and we can mark the painting
on them and make changes as necessary.
He hasn't followed up on the gigantic CHESS set yet, but will.
Called back later to tell me that he had an appointment on Tursday.
Made it Friday.

Called Felicia to tell her about LOTTERY, SPELLBINDER, and SKYSCRAPERS.
I suggested 3M for SKYSCRAPERS but Felicia said they are very disorganized
and she'll wait till Stationery Show when Bill Caruson comes in,
unless she can find someone else first. Altho she doesn't care much
for puzzles, this one appeals to her.
She stopped at R.G.I. yesterday and looked at the HOLIDAY box. She liked it.
Herb Roth keeps warning Felicia to watch out for Bob Gellman.

Frank Armbruster here for lunch.
