Talked with her and three others. Their study is based <br> | |||
on following children who were in Head Start. There are <br> | |||
about 20 teams doing this around the country and their team <br> | |||
is concentrating on the use of games, but the children are <br> | |||
only up to the 3rd grade. <br> | |||
They are interested in classifying games and, altho I told <br> | |||
them that my classification system didn't apply to children's games <br> | |||
at all, they ran off some xerox's of my classification <br> | |||
sheet. Also a bunch for me. <br> | |||
When they come up with a classification system they may have me <br> | |||
hired as a consultant, at $100 a day to go over it. <br> | |||
One of the women, Marsha, had some connections with companies <br> | |||
that might want games developed. She will mention me to them. <br> | |||
She also thinks there might be interest in a book by me. Told <br> | |||
them of my contractual commitments with Random House. <br> | |||
Showed the <u>''AGOG''</u> and Esther said they'd get some copies. They <br> | |||
are now using <u>LOTTO</u> mechanism for most of their games. Want new mechanisms. <br> | |||
Walked to 19th St. to the address given for <u>ECCENTRIC</u>. <br> | |||
It was a private residence with nobody there. Looked <br> | |||
up the telephone number and called <u>Earl</u>'s. No answer. <br> | |||
