Call from Felicia. Herb Roth gave her copies of BLITZ, MINI-BLITZ, and WOMAN & MAN. She asked if I wanted any. Asked her to hold the first two for me until Monday when I go there.

Thinking about INFINITY and believe I have it pretty well worked out.

Call from Bob Abbott. In G&P #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 ELEUSIS as a simulation, and asked if I knew where it was. No.

I asked if anything had come with Graeme Levin and EPAMINONDAS. No, and he also hasn't heard anything on ABBOTT'S NEW CARD GAMES.

To has subscribed to SIMULATIONS/GAMING/NEWS and is looking at previous copies he borrowed. Among the games he mentioned GRASSLANDS as playable (see 12/9/72). We spoke about Gini Scott.
