24 WEDNESDAY * OCTOBER 1973
UNITED NATIONS DAY * 297TH DAY * 68 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. [received] Oct. [October] TOYS. Nothing in particular.

Earl called and offered to have me teach the course in BRIDGE (see 10/19) and he'll give over the money to me. Said "no thanks, but what I meant was that he really had to study up in order to teach the course - not that I wanted to do the teaching myself."
Made a tentative date for 11/9. I'll call Issy & Claude to check with them.

Call from James Trager concerning his game BAWDY BESS. Told him that I just hadn't had an opportunity to get to it and am not sure just when I can. Told him that I certainly wouldn't object to his taking back his model. He said he wants me to work on it and will call me in about a month.

Call from Felicia. She rcd. [received] a package from 3M with PROFIT, BROKEN ENGLISH, and LINK-UP. Told her that I already had the latter and she asked me if she could give it as a gift to a kid whose father is out of work. Sure.
She has a game called SPIDER which she finds interesting.
Hans Goldschmidt wants to send her loads of things and she is trying to get him to send her a description first. She finds that he often takes an existing idea, makes a small change, and expects to be paid royalties.

Rcd. [received] a package from American Greetings with BROKEN ENGLISH and FAIR SHAKE.

Call from Harold Saperstein. He has S & T #32, 33, 34, and 35. Told him I'd bring him up to date when we visit him.

Call from Claude. He is still working on the puzzles aspects of DIABOLIQUE. He likes the way differently colored numbers fall into patterns when arranged for solutions.
Told him about the tentative date for 11/9.

(cont. from 10/31) [10/31]

for changes we have made.
We signed the HOLIDAY and PATTON contracts - 2 of each - (and I later dropped them at Athol for Bob Gellman's signature. He was out).
Took ECLIPSE, POP-SHAPE-AND SHETTER, PAIR OFF, and OVER 'N OVER with me. Also the copy of BROKEN ENGLISH from 3M.

To "Gamut of Games". Phil was playing BACKGAMMON with Nick and didn't feel much like talking. That rush of games for me to come up with that he spoke of yesterday won't be until the spring - if it materializes. Those supermarket games will be $1.89, not $1.49. I will probably have to spend
(cont. on 10/22)
