24 MONDAY - APRIL 1972
115TH DAY - 251 DAYS TO COME

Herb Hochstetter called, mainly about the job referral he had given Phil. Told him that I have been just too busy to get to the game ideas he gave me. No hurry.

To Skunk Works. Spoke to Jim about "Simulations Design Corp." and CONFLICT (see 4/14). He is not worried about them. Actually he doesn't believe they have actually started publication. When do they do he believes they will get copies.
Spoke to Phil Orbanes. He still can't get any word from Bill Knox about GROOVE, etc.
Bob Hallowell would like half a dozen solitaire p. & p. GAMES to add to the line in the fall.
Spoke to Fred Schacter who, together with Al Nofi who wasn't there, is supposed to know all about which games and publications have come in. The only thing that he could think of of particular interest to me was THE SPARTAN which is the new quarterly put out by "SICL". It contains some PANZERBLITZ variants with 4 map sheets and a sheet of counters; SPACE CENTURIONS V, a complete game that can be played with graph paper; ads for SINK THE BISMARCK! and LENSMAN. (Fred gave me an extra copy they had.)
