2 TUESDAY - APRIL 1974
92ND DAY - 273 DAYS TO COME

Working on SKYSCRAPERS most of the day. Came up with a new set-
up of 8 pcs. and 5 molds. Looking for solutions allowing
more than two squares of the same size to be next to each other.
Found only 4, and three were quite similar.

Call from Mike Starr, a write for the WALL ST. JOURNAL,
working from Chicago. He is trying to look into the possibility
of a piece on inventors of adult games. He got my name from
3M. He asked me questions on how I invent games, how much money
there is in games, etc. He also asked me who to talk to at
various companies. Suggested Bill Dohrmann at Parker, Dick Harris
or Mel Taft at M.B. [Milton Bradley], and Tom Shaw at A.H. [Avalon Hill] He asked for other
inventors and I gave him telephone numbers for Claude Soucie,
Wald Amberstone, Bob Abbott, Jerry D'Arey, and Frank Thibault
(who 3M told him about).
I asked if he could let me know when the article runs.
He said that there may not even be an article. But if there
is, he is speaking to over 30 people and can't contact them all.

Called Julie Clardy. Told her that I rcd. the revised 1099
form and thanked her. Told her that the address is still
wrong. Told her that Claude did not receive a 1099
form for DUEL. Since it was under $500 she said he prob-
ably won't be getting one.
She said I should that call her anytime I have a problem
with royalties - collect. I checked on her address in case
there is no hurry and I can write.

Claude and the others were busy talking about the sit-
uation and Claude couldn't meet me. Made tentative date
with Anne for 4/18.
