To Felicia. Showed her GAME INVENTOR'S KIT and offered to loan it to her. Not necessary.

I asked, and she hasn't heard anything form Lowe about JACK POTS 6, which is a little encouraging.

She told me that Bob Johnson is now the head of Springbok development. The Ravensburger reps are, or have just been here in connection with signing a contract with Hallmark. She doesn't have any word on my games.

Left the copy of KLONDIKE for Alan Newman to pick up. She gave me 2 copies of PUSHOVER, of the 6 Aladdin sent her.

To "Gamut of Games" and showed him Phil Orbanes the 6 games for SLY 6 and he thought they were great. He asked, and I promised to have the rules written and to him by Friday. At his suggestion I made a master drawing of the board and ran off 11 copies when the machine broke. I'll use these for the illustrations. He was on the phone a good bit about various aspects of their deal with "Pager Industries" to be their reps. There are problems coming up, over rental of storage space and other things. As he spoke I realized that "Pager" was the company with Jerry Green and Pat Duncan that used to be "The Puzzle Factory." Von Zedtwitz (I checked and that is the correct spelling) is getting involved with the problems with "Pager." Phil also mentioned that Djoli Kansil had really goofed as far as Waldy was concerned but didn't go into details.

I asked Phil about the zip lock bags he uses in his games. They can be bought in quantities of 1000 from: [drawn bracket] Nat'l Transparent Mfg.
[drawn bracket] 326-7050
The price sometime ago was $15 for 1000. He said that he had some around that I could take for 2¢. Took some and later counted them as 103. Divided these with Dana, also giving half of the small ones I got last night to him.

I asked Phil and he said that he rcd. his 1099 from Reiss. I called "Al Lipoff" and he said at 585-2889 and he told me that the amount was $2,852.63, and that he'd send me a copy. He also said that he was sending the extra money for VEGAS 13, etc.

While Phil was on the phone I went to see Mannie Lefkowitz. He was interested in the theme of FIGHT CITY HALL, and will contact me to bring it.

He is waiting for final approval from Harry Lorayne's lawyer before going ahead with THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME.

To S.P.I. Took a copy of VIKING and CHARIOT. Also a duplicate copy of "Book II" with S&T's #7 thru 12.

Redmund gave me the following limits for my column: 76 - 60 character (average) lines, with a line counter for each space between paragraphs.

Picked up four letter from readers with return stamped envelopes: - Richard Doolittle - HARE AND TORTOISE, LONDON CABBIE GAME,
