26 MONDAY * NOVEMBER 1973
330TH DAY * 35 DAYS TO COME

Call from Fay Hartog. The people in charge of royalties couldn't find any of my records and she asked if I could bring the last two royalty statements for AGOG. Told her that I had sent them to Fabio. Later called her back to tell her that I had copied the info before sending them and that I'd bring it tomorrow.

Call from Felicia. She spoke to Bob Johnson. They are happy about the way the puzzles games are going and the royalty checks for THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, FITTING & PROPER, etc. have been cut (??). He expects to be playing PUSHOVER, THE 31ST HEX, and SPECTRUM with Burt Huber very shortly.
Bob White, the inventor of CUBITS, has some connections with stores in Canada and will try and sell the line there. Bob White has a game called CHOP STICKS that he is pestering her to handle. (How did this come up?). I mentioned Ideal's CHOP SUEY; she knew it, but CHOP STICKS, she said, is more like PICK UP STICKS.
She demanded to know what was going on at 3M and was informed that Keith and Kathy will be having little to do with the game program from now on. Carol Peterson will be the one to contact. Told Felicia that I had heard from Carol.
Felicia rcd. [received] PSYCHOLOGICAL BLOCKS back from Carol. It didn't look as it had even been touched.
Discussed the charity invite (see 11/16). Told Felicia that I was trying to get out of a prior date for 11/30, but if I couldn't I would send a contribution.
Felicia said she'd call Kohner - about POP-SHAPE-AND Shatter, etc. - next Monday.
She still hasn't heard from Dick Harris - about 3D BOXES. She asked if M.B.'s [Milton Bradley's] SUPER SPY was anything like MINEFIELD. Told her no.

Wrote up rules for SPECULATE - my new name for WINDFALL (forgetting that Graeme Levin has a SPECULATE), EMPIRE, and INVESTIGATION.

be playing PUSHOVER, THE 31ST HEX, and SPECTRUM with
Burt Huber very shortly.
