23 SUNDAY - MARCH 1975
PASSION (PALM) SUNDAY - 82ND DAY - 283 DAYS TO COME

At various bazaars bought 40 strips with 25 plastic picture holders each - for $2; 2 green and 2 red ball point pens - for 10¢; 3 bags of buttons - for 75¢; 7 pads of 6" x 8 1/2" paper - for $1.00.

Call from Claude. Talked about visit to Dave Greenwald. Claude is thinking of a gimmicky game GAME for Hasbro based on THE RACE TRACK GAME that was in Martin Gardner's column. He asked and I said I could get a repro of it for him. Also told him about RACECOURSE and promised repros.

Visit from the Horn's. They brought me 99 (I am pretty sure) brass pin-on buttons with undecipherable, black inscription. Each was in a zip-lock bag - about 2 1/4" x 3" - and Dana said that he has been looking for small zip-lock bags. Told him that I'd check with Phil Orbanes next time I saw him to find out where he gets his.

The four of us played GET THE JUMP from SLY 6. O.k. but not great.

Played 500 RUMMY with dad & Ilka.

Rcd a letter from Keith Tuggle answering a Mr. A. T. Rehm, Jr. who had asked a question on ACQUIRE. He said that I would send Rehm an answer - but he didn't send me the question.

During day Ed Schifman called and gave BB a list of games for me to check. No hurry and I can send info in a letter: QUINTESSENCE, ARRAY, CONTINUITY, PENTAD, VISA VERSA, CONTRA, POLARITY, TRANSPOR TRANSPOSIT.

He also asked if I could tell him my sources, so that he won't have to bother me.
