3 THURSDAY - MAY 1973
123RD DAY - 242 DAYS TO COME

Call from Bob Champer. Told him I still haven't written
the rules for PATTON. He'll call me next Thursday. If
the artist contacts me about the PATTON boards I will
contact Bob and he'll join the meeting.

(cont. from 5/22) [5/22]

DEALER'S CHOICE. The royalties so far are good on SQUARE OFF.
Tom promised to call me tonight about the GAME of
5/1, since they were in a rush to go for a meeting at the
Hallmark Gallery. All of Alex's things are tied up so Tom
won't be submitting anything of his. (He called tomorrow
morning instead.) // They went up to Martin Gardner & he sent regard to me.
To Reiss and was talking with Phil Orbanes when Dorothy
Shapiro of Brentano's came by. Told her of my FITTING & PROPER
and THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS with Springbok and she insisted on
going up there to show them to her. She said that she
likes dealing with Springbok.
She mentioned John Flagg's SYNTACTICS (see 5/7). He
decided to put it out himself and is having it handled
by Gameophiles. (Obviously he must have had it ready
when he called me.)
To American Greetings just before closing. The salesman
suggested that I come back Thursday.

Kathy Brooks called during day and told BB that she couldn't
make it here for supper this trip. She suggested taking
us out for supper next trip.
Rcd. a letter from N.Y. State Income Tax saying that my letter
of 5/12 was rcd. and that are holding up for 30 days.
Rcd. a card from "The Goethe House Library' asking me to return
it if I intended to use their library in the future so that
they can issue me a library card. (Discarded.)

Felicia called and asked me to stop at Karen Kole's on Thursday
and have her call Felicia. She wants to show her a com-
panion item to THE GALAXY GAZER. It was done by
Rolla Nordic - who Karen Kole should know.
When with Dorothy Shapiro I mentioned NETRESULTS and she
was interested. Promised to bring her the info.
While talking to Phil Orbanes he told me that Felicia had stopped
by the "Gamut of Games" booth which they had rented before join-
ing Reiss Assoc. She left a card with Elaine, Phil's secretary, saying
"Sid Sackson's games are fine for the present, but I have other clients"
or something like that. Phil said the way it came across was not
knocking me, but just trying to do some business.
