SEPTEMBER 1974 - MONDAY 30
273RD DAY - 92 DAYS TO COME
----
A few calls from a friend and then Miss Goldfinger, a
teacher in Teaneck, N.J. She has a grant to devise games
to help with English and her class is very excited about
GAMES they have devised. She got my name thru Mike Abner.
She asked if I would come and speak to her class. Told her
that adult games were my specialty, but that I would be
willing to come there and answer questions. She'll call me in the
middle of Oct., will come here to look at my collection and 
to discuss my coming towards the end of Oct.

Told her about the book GAMES TO IMPROVE YOUR CHILD'S ENGLISH,
which she hadn't heard of.
