(cont. from 5/24) [5/24]

FAIR SHAKE - didn't have this before and he didn't give me a copy. BROKEN ENGLISH - he gave me a copy with most of the insides missing, but the rules are there. UPON-MY-WORD - I had this before and he gave me a complete copy. De-TOUR - he gave me a complete copy.
- Waddingtons. Gave Les Martindale the rules of TAKE-A-WORD and he gave me a receipt. It will not be considered before 1975 for publication before 1975. He gave me a copy of THE GAME OF NATIONS. It is only for my collection. It will not be sold in the U.S. this year and there may be revisions before it is sold here. Earl will send me copies of the two versions of KGB and the revised RATRACE.
- Saw Alice McElhone again. Karin Kole told her that she could display TRIPPPLES in her booth. Alice said that orders are coming in very nicely, including the possibility of publication in Europe.
- 3M. Stopped by to say goodbye to Kathy Brooks.
- Pacific Games. Stopped by. Jerry Kayle was in casual conversation and ignored me. Nothing new, and left.
- Met Tom Atwater again. Among other things he asked if Felicia had been dealing with Four Generations. No, as far as I know. He thinks they are an up and coming company. I mentioned Phil Shoptaugh and Tom knows him, or of him.
I asked if he had seen Norton Cross and whether there is any possibility of getting TRANSFORMATION back. Cross said that they are reorganizing their reps [representatives] and expect the games to start moving this year. Tom doesn't think there is any chance of getting it back. Incidentally, TRANSFORMATION wasn't even on display.
- Met Tom Beck. He met Felicia and I told him that she was my agent when he is interested in games from me, he can either contact her or me.
Tom Beck (or it may possibly have been Alice McElhone) told me that Bill Tyler of Brentano's is working on setting up a meeting of a number of small game manufacturers so that they can arrive at some way to help each other.
- Cadeau (M.B. [Milton Bradley]). Said hello to Marshall Lucas. The only new things of moderate interest to me were:- THE GRABBER - One magnet is fixed. Another is mounted so that it can rotate. Object is to rotate it [drawing] just hard enough that the two grab. THE BURGERMEISTER - A figure with a hat on is pivoted at the bottom. The hat has a loop on the top. Below this is a magnet. Another magnet is mounted on the end of a staff with a hook on it. As
