23 MONDAY - OCTOBER 1972
VETERANS' DAY - 297TH DAY - 69 DAYS TO COME

Put the finishing touches on the eight games for today, putting on contact and cutting the boards in half. To Fred Feucht Didn't get a call from Fred Feucht so I called him. In and I arranged to go there at 1:30 today.

To Fred's and showed him what I did with AIR BATTLE, WILDCAT, and SWORDSMAN. Actually I made mistake by using a matte surface for the boards [illegible word crossed out] because the crayon doesn't go on smoothly. He tried a grease pencil and that seems to work better. He kept the boards and will get some grease pencils for a presentation.

We played TAKE-A-WORD (he played first and beat me by 2 points) and he liked it.

To Brentano's and saw three of the Piet Hein puzzles Edson spoke to me about last year. BLOXBOX is the 7 small boxes Blocks inside a transparent box. CRUX is the three wooden pieces that meet at a point. TWICHIT is a 12 surfaced solid with the 12 pentagons mounted so that they can turn. Different symboles on the edges must be matched.

Also saw GENERATION RAP and THE GARBAGE GAME, both by the same manufacturer. Didn't see the inside of the first and just glanced at the second. There are jigsaw pcs. [pieces] that must be put together into a number of dif- ferent pictures. If a player takes too many pcs. [pieces] he is penalized for waste. It is packaged in a plastic garbage can.

To Grey Advertising for meeting with Phil Orbanes
