Division." He wants to put out a series of "Portfolio of Games"
with
with <u>CHESS</u>, <u>GO</u>; some original games - <u>NEXUS</u>, <u>PIPS</u>, etc. He wants
to put out <u>PLANK</u> in the first series. He is interested, for the second
series, in <u>PATTERNS II</u>, <u>LAP</u>, <u>THREE MUSKETEERS</u>, <u>HOLD THAT LINE</u>. He also
asked whether he could steal <u>BATTLESHIP</u> and <u>JOTTO</u>.
 
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. Her acquaintance, Ruth Millard who did P.R. [public relations] for M.B. [Milton Bradley] is
interested in working for 3M, <s>She called Bill Caru</s> She, Felicia, wanted
<u>Lee Horn</u>'s telephone number and I found it for her in the
folder with 3M publicity.  <br>
She rcd. [received] a very nice letter from <u>Chuck Titus</u>. He thanked her for her
efforts for <u>PSYCHE-PATHS</u> but realizes that she won't be selling it.
He'd like his hand-made set returned. I told Felicia that, since I have
it, I'll mail it to him.  <br>
She rcd. [received] a letter from <u>Bob Johnson</u>. He'll be glad to look at things
in May. However he was very anxious to see 2-hand strategy
games. I told her about <u>DISPERSAL</u>. I'll bring it to her Monday and she'll
send it out to him. I wondered why he kept wanting more and more
2-hand strategy games. She figures that Springbok will be putting
out a long series of them, similar to their jig-saw puzzles.
 
2nd call from <u>Felicia</u>. She called <u>Bill Caruson</u> to try and get some info
for Ruth Millard.  <br>
She asked Bill also about the games. The gamettes will continue as
they are for 1973. Then they will investigate "bulking them up" so that
they can sell for a higher price. <u>PROFIT</u> will be considered again for '74.<br>
Bill Caruson said the older games are dropping off. Felicia said - <u>ACQUIRE</u>
too? But Bill said that it it holding up. Felicia said that he sounds more <br>
