has been returned to him. He gets a few hundred dollars a year  <br>
from <u>THE IMPUZZABLES</u>.
from <u>THE IMPUZZABLES</u>. Forgot to ask him about <u>CROSS UP POKER</u>.  <br>
Asked about <u>Frank Thibault</u>. He is getting some money from 3M.  <br>
He promises he will send me <u>CONTIGO</u>. He has <u>TOTEM</u> on option  <br>
to Hallmark.  <br>
Jerry treated me to lunch at the Haymarket Restaurant, tho I  <br>
tried to get him to let me pay.  <br>
In the past Jerry usually found someone with a lot of money to  <br>
back him in his game business. Since he broke with Schubert  <br>
about half a year ago he hasn't found anyone.
 
Left <u>SKYSCRAPERS</u> for <u>Felicia</u> in the office across from her.
 
To <u>Bob Gellman</u>. Went over the proofs of the cards for <u>HOLIDAY</u>  <br>
and everything O.K. except that "Ste Anne de Beaupre" was put in as  <br>
"St." Bob decided to leave it.  <br>
He is going to raise the list price of <u>HOLIDAY</u> to $7, the same  <br>
as <u>MOVIE MOGULS</u>. <u>PATTON</u> will list for $8.  <br>
I brought up the matter of <u>SCOTLAND YARD</u> and he thinks I should have  <br>
it ready by the end of June at the latest.  <br>
He estimates sales of about 12,000 this year for <u>HOLIDAY</u> but  <br>
hopes eventually to have real mass sales. Also he is sure it will  <br>
be a staple. He has spent about $6,000 on the art work & color separations.
 
To Simulations. Got together with <u>Jim</u> and <u>Phil</u>. Showed them the  <br>
2 copies of ''<u>GAMES & PUZZLES</u>'' and discussed my writing for  <br>
the magazine. Jim doesn't really care as long as I don't give  <br>
them my ''<u>S & T</u>'' columns.
