Bob Hallowell called. Wanted me to come to Mt. Cisco for a
discussion with him a Fred Gwynne about the TV GAME.
Couldn't since I didn't have a car.
Bob is sending me a letter covering XANDO, etc. in a
manner similar to NINE OF SWORDS. He wants something to
protect himself in case his stock offering doesn't go thru
and he has to go out of business.
Fred Feucht is taking pictures for the covers of the
games and they are great. TOURNEY may be called SWORD PLAY.
Fred has drawn a map and added cities in the U.S. to
CONNECTIONS. This will make it look too much like AIRLINE.
I'll take that back from Felicia. Everybody has seen it already.

Called the Richters and spoke to Adela. Postponed our 5/13
date to 5/19 - here or there depending on whether I have the car
back or not.

In Bob Hallowell's call he said that if he can't do the p. & p. games
himself, he is pretty sure that Reiss will. They are wild about them.

(cont. from 6/1) [7/26]

Felicia called. A reporter for the LONDON TIMES contacted her
(thru Dorothy Shapiro) and will be at her office tomorrow. She asked
if I'd like to be there. Too busy, but she'll have him call me from there.
