<u>Bob Hallowell</u> called, just before
<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>
