29 SATURDAY - JULY 1972
211TH DAY - 155 DAYS TO COME

Finished the equipment for ONE AT A TIME BY THE MILLIONS
including a 6 x 4 layout and 54 cards. Played with BB, Dave,
and Marylin. O.K. but rather slow moving. Thought that I could

Hallmark is looking at KING SOLOMON'S DIVERSION (the puzzle

She managed to get Hallmark to give her $25 more a month.
Alan Turoff has come up with an "Auto Chess" gadget
which Dynamic Design is very interested in. She set a time
limit and they sent it back not having finished the costing.
She'll now have to send it back.
When Turoff first came to her he had a word GAME which

been refused by Parker but personel there were playing it
and liked it so much that they contacted him and will publish it.

While looking for Gary Sherbell's old model she decided to clear
out some material. I took the model of DOMINIQUE (I
have another set with the name COPADE. Hallmark had been
interested in it, but she couldn't locate the inventor.
