cheerful whenever he talks about ACQUIRE.
Jim Kraus has been moved out of the game program. Bill Caruson
has a lot of other things to work on so Keith Tuggle is pretty much
in charge of the game program. Keith will be at the Toy Fair.
They are looking for one GAME for the Bookshelf line in 1974. Felicia
said I should come up with something and I said THE BRAIN GAME.
She is afraid that 3M has too many trading games.
One of the reasons she called Bill was to ask about HIGH BID. It is
now officially only in the Gamette line.
She sent Bob Johnson a letter saying that she will be expecting sending
him DISPERSAL early next week.
S & R notified her that they made a mistake and sent her $600
too much for the 4th quarter of BALI.
She thinks that Bob Gellman is a great salesman, but
somewhat of a phoney. She says I should ask for an advance
before I work on PATTON.

Call from Claude. He told me about an ad in TOYS Magazine (which
I had seen) by M.B. for someone to work on game product design.
He thought that it might be a good job for me. Possibly, but
I'm not ready yet to take a job.
I told him about the letter from James J. Faulkner today.
Spoke about my notes on his game CROOKED BRIDGE. He'll call me
some time so I can read them to him. (Both too tired today.)
Told him about Hallmark being so interested in 2-hand strategy
games. And that I had DISPERSAL completely worked out.

Started working on the DISPERSAL board.

weekly column called "The Sunday Game." I said that I could do
most of it myself, if the price is right. George, of course, will
contribute. He is also working on some word puzzles.
