Called <u>Claude</u>. He spoke to Felicia about his idea of adding
more solutions to <u>ECLIPSE</u>. She said she wants it to go together
with my game (<u>POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER</u>) and just to add
a note that he can include more solutions. Arranged to
meet at Metropolitan Book Store at 10 tomorrow and then
go to Kohner together.
 
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. Depressed. She hears rumors that 3M is
trying to sell off the games. (She mentioned this a few
weeks ago.) <u>BALI</u> is down about $20 from last year.<br>
She heard from <u>Hans Goldschmidt</u>. He is doing children's
things again and wants her to handle him.<br>
<s>[???] heard from Bob Gellman about him sending</s><br>
When I started to draw up the <u>POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER</u> solutions
(24) saw that I couldn't be ready for tomorrow morning.
Contacted Claude and changed meeting to Weds. at 10.
 
<u>Bob Gellman</u> in his call told me he was preparing a letter with the quantities sold so
far on <u>PATTON</u> (about 300 I think) and <u>HOLIDAY</u> (less). He
asked who should get the original and who the carbon. Told him
original to me and carbon to Felicia. He'll send the money all
to me. We'll get it in December. Felicia later told me that
he had said it to her. It's O.K. with her.<br>
BB brought me <u>THE PETER PRINCIPLE GAME</u> from ''<u>PSYCHOLOGY TODAY</u>''<br>
(see 9/23/72). (Filed in 1973 Misc. [miscellaneous])
