my segment on the Louise show. I'll bring down any clippings
I get for him to make repros. [reproductions] He'll send these to 3M
with a yearly report in June. He'll remind them again
about all my help in publicizing 3M games.
<br>We talked about <u>POINT OF LAW</u> and he and Audrey agree with
me that it is really not a game, and is very overpriced for
what is included.
 
Called <u>Jim Dunnigan</u>. Wanted to talk to him about "Simulations
Design Corp.", <u>CONFLICT</u>, etc. (see 4/14). Not in. Left word for
him to call but he didn't.
 
<u>Felicia</u> called. She rcd. a letter from <u>Bill Dohrmann</u>. They
have held on to <u>Lillian Voegelin</u>'s <u>FOUR LETTER WORDS</u> with
the idea of making up a model themselves. But things are
so hectic that they can't do it. They'd like to try it if
Lillian or Felicia will prepare a model. I suggested <u>Al Richter</u>
and Felicia had already thought of it. They will suggest supplying
Al with the materials and then giving him a cut of the
royalties for his labor. I'll tell him about it tonight and Felicia will call
him after she talks to Lillian.
<br>Bill is sending back Lillian's <u>GIRL TALK</u>. He thinks it is a very
strong item but doesn't think they can do it justice.
There is no mention of <u>LOTTERY</u> and Felicia will ask about
it in her return letter.
<br><u>Felicia</u> said that <u>Dick Harris</u> was in for a quick visit. He is
still interested in Lillian's <u>WHAT'S IT WORTH IN DOLLARS?</u> but not
ready to make a decision.
<br>Told Felicia about my call to <u>Bob Gellman</u> yesterday.
 
<u>Bob Hallowell</u> called. Altho he doesn't reallt like games much he
thinks that <u>XANDO</u> and <u>HEXOWORD</u> are great and he really enjoys
playing them. He asked if I could have six solitaire <u>GAME</u>s
ready for publication in the fall. I said that I had 2 well along
and that I am sure I could have 6 by the fall.
<br>He was talking to a salesman from the San Francisco area. He
told Bob that <u>Manny Lefkowitz</u> is saying that the p. and p. games
are the hottest new things in the line this year.
 
Thinking some more of my old idea for a <u>SAFE CRACKING GAME</u>.
