worked out.
 
Call from <u>Bob Abbott</u>. In <u>G&P</u> #27 there is a mention of
a "Game Preserve" somewhere in Penna. Where people
can come to play all kinds of simulation games. He
would like to go there to get people to play <u>ELEUSIS</u>
as a simulation, and asked if I knew where it was. No.
 
I asked if anything had come with <u>Graeme Levin</u> and
<u>EPAMINONDAS</u>. No, and he also hasn't heard anything on
<u>ABBOTT'S NEW CARD GAMES</u>.
 
To has subscribed to <u>SIMULATIONS/GAMING/NEWS</u> and is looking
at previous copies he borrowed. Among the games he
mentioned <u>GRASSLANDS</u> as playable (see 12/9/72). We
spoke about <u>Gini Scott</u>.
