was even thinking of having a cocktail party so that the
manufacturers could look over the material. But we discussed it
and decided that it is much better to see them one at a time.
<br>She said that <u>Bob Johnson</u> is very anxious to look at 2-hand
strategy games. I asked how come when he has so many already.
She thinks that they intend to put out a long series of them under
the Springbok name, similar to the jig-saw puzzles. Told her about
<u>PUSH OVER</u>. She said she is not showing him anything until after we get
the contract and advance on <u>FOCUS</u>.
<br>Told Felicia I was calling <u>Kathy Brooks</u> about <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> and
asked if there was anything I should ask her. Felicia suggested
that I check on the status of <u>PROFIT</u>.
