117TH DAY - 248 DAYS TO COME

Call from Odette Willis. She rcd. some additional material
from Vittet on L'ANNEAU ENCHANTE DE TOM TIT. It is in
French but I told her to send it on to me.
Vittet said that he rcd. the copy of ACQUIRE she sent him
and that he would play it with Pierre Berloquin.
Odette's return to France has been delayed indefinitely. Her
present telephone number: {Odette Willis
{288-3259

Rcd. a letter from Frank Armbruster said he'd match
the surface price of $7.00 for G&P (which seems to be
a dollar under) but not the air mail rate. (This was in
answer to my earlier letter.
He's sending another copy of ARVESTA.

Called Zeke Rose. (He apologized for not calling me back.) The
list prices are as follows: TRAP - under $5.00, AUCTIONEER -
under $6.00, DEAR ABBY - under $4.50.
Mentioned Alabe and their MATOCA and REWORD. Zeke said that he
would contact Alabe about sending me copies.
Calls to and from Felicia. She couldn't get thru to Stan
Herfenist and finally asked me to call Karen. Did and she broke
in on a conference and got a date at 3 p.m. (phone - 675-4488)
Downtown and told Felicia about finding WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?
She asked if there was anyone else we could how it to and I
said that "Gamut of Games" might possibly be interested.
She was so excited with the model of 3D BOXES that she
wasn't too much interested in other things.
Looked at a game ESPIONAGE. Each player (2 to 4 I believe) has
four markers which are moved along a path, which has several
short cuts and branches - including a river on which the marker
moves in a rowboat. Movement is by two dice which can be used
for one marker or one die each for two markers. Sending back
is similar to PARCHEEISI. There are also sets of cards which
help or hinder the player drawing them. When a marker
reaches the end of the path the player draws a "code" card
(actually a letter card from a PROBE set). If he wants
a different card he must use the next turn getting it, dis-
carding the previous card. Etc. Object is to spell a four
letter word after having all four markers (agents) reach the end.
Parker sent back PRIME TIME & BUS STOP, but only half of each
board - hinged together.
Together to Lakeside to see Stan Harfenist. He liked my
model of 3D BOXES and we played a game - the simpler version.
He kept Bernice's wig box so that he could send the model
to Minneapolis for costing.
Got a 3UP glossy from Karen, and a list price - under $3.00.
I asked if they preferred that I include Dr. Wexler's name
or not. Not.
