After some hints from Dorothy I arranged to go there on 12/10, 12/11, and | |||
12/12 - from 12 to 3 - to demonstrate all of my games. she said that | |||
She'd have a good supply of my games. Later I looked upstairs and saw | |||
that there were no <u>SLEUTH</u>s, only 1 <u>VENTURE</u> (I think), and only a | |||
few <u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u> and <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>. <br> | |||
She had a copy of <u>SCRIMMAGE</u> which she had considered handling in | |||
1970, but decided against. She gave it to me for my collection.<br> | |||
Upstairs looked at the games. Saw a series of games by | |||
"Teaching Concepts" (no address given). They are <u>FRACTION BROS. CIRCUS</u>, | |||
<u>CIRCULATION</u>, <u>SUPER SANDWICH</u>, <u>READ AROUND</u>, and <u>SPACE HOP</u>. (At home | |||
''<u>NEW YORK</u>'' Magazine had a piece on them - Filed in '73 Misc. [1973 miscellaneous]). | |||
They had Skor-Mor's <u>PRIME TIME</u> and one I haven't seen, <u>5IVE STRAIGHT</u> | |||
which looked like a variation of <u>GO MOKU</u> with cards to 99 that | |||
correspond to spaces on the board. (Actually did on 5/21.) | |||
Call from <u>Felicia</u> while I was downtown. BB told <s>him</s> her that I was | |||
visiting my editor. <u>Dick Harris</u> will be in on 12/3 to see <u>3D BOXES</u> - 10:30 AM. | |||
Sent a check to Bea Ecks' charity (see 11/16) for $7.50. | |||

<u>FRUSTABLES</u>, <u>CORNERED-BUT-UNDAUNTED</u>, <u>EMOTE</u>, <u>CHINESE CHESS</u> | |||
(Game-ophiles), <u>SYNTACTICS</u>, 16 of the S.P.I. games (Jim D. told me, after I | |||
