Couldn't remember | Couldn't remember what I had asked <u>Mary McKee</u> to send me. Called | ||
her. It was contact prints of the pictures. She just got them | |||
in her office but I had to catch the plane. She'll send me a | |||
copy, also, copies of any clippings, and the press kit. It will | |||
take a few weeks. | |||
<u>Bob Hallowell</u> called, just before I got home. Said that he loved the p. & p. | |||
games - especially <u>HEXOWORD</u>. I called and got Jean. Bob | |||
was in city. Told her that <u>ORBIT</u>s reached Rochester in time. | |||
<u>Felicia</u> called before I got home and I called back. She has been trying | |||
to contact <u>Bob Gellman</u> about <u>HOLIDAY</u>, without success. <br> | |||
She is going crazy trying to get an answer from <u>Jim Kraus</u>. She is | |||
preparing another letter. I mentioned <u>PROFIT</u> and she will ask | |||
about this in the letter; not too pointedly since I pointed out | |||
that there isn't much chance of placing it elsewhere. <br> | |||
She rcd. [received] a carbon of the letter from <u>Kathy Brooks</u> rejecting | |||
<u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u>. We discussed showing it elsewhere, with no | |||
conclusions. <u>J'ACCUSE</u> was also rejected - "too much like". <br> | |||
A fellow was in with a <u>GAME</u> based on progressions which | |||
Felicia didn't like at all. He had a gambling game called | |||
<u>TAK-A-CHANCE</u> which she did like. However he was paranoid | |||
about having something stolen and made Felicia sign a paper saying | |||
that she had seen the games. He and a partner have made | |||
up a lot of games, but Felicia doubts if she'll see him again. | |||
At first she was going to keep the rules for <u>TAK-A-CHANCE</u> | |||
to show me but then decided against it. I said that I didn't | |||
want to look at anything if the inventor would object. <br> | |||
