Rcd. a copy of THE DOT GAME and a very pleasant letter from
David L. White.
Called Felicia. Keith Tuggle called her yesterday and they talked
for a long time. Bill Caruson has moved up and out of games com-
pletely. Dick Christianson (who neither Felicia nor I know) is
now in charge. Keith is involved in development, altho Kathy and
Carol will still be looking at games.
Felicia told Keith about SHAPE & SHATTER and he said he wants
to see it. But he asked if it is a "paper game." Since it can
be done in cardboard she said yes, but then she thought he
might mean a p&p game. She'll show it to him when he
comes in for "Toy Fair" which he said he would.
Keith said that they are expanding the game dept.
Keith, when Felicia brought up the matter of the games he
had asked me to send him, said that he hadn't rcd. them -
altho he forgot what he asked me for.
Felicia said she had another word GAME from a new client,
that is very very different. It would be suitable for TV.
I told Felicia that I'd look at it when I picked up
THE BRAIN GAME sometime next week. She called to say that
she didn't have it there, later, and I discovered it up-
stairs. I had taken it last week year to try to change the
theme.
