Took three copies - duplicate - of MOVES #19.

Took the BLUE & GRAY quad game. The rules for SHILOH, ANTIETAM, CEMETERY HILL were there. The rules for CHICKAMAUGA were missing. There were two sets of the "Standard Rules."

At home looked at the box of Rand Games. All that was included was: 2 "chart sheets," 2 sets of "Tac Cards," counters for LEE VS MEADE; rules and counters for INVASION: SICILY; rules for SARATOGA: 1777; complete THE WAR OF THE WORLDS II; compelt complete OMAHA BEACH; map, counters, and two "Chart Sheets" for MISSLE BOAT, Rules and counters for CAMBRAI, 1917; Rules and "Chart sheet" for NAPOLEON'S LAST CAMPAIGNS.

Left for downtown in morning (for blood pressure test) before hearing from Felicia. Checked with BB and Felicia called after I left. Quite grouchy but did say that the meeting with Ron Weingartner was set for 5/14 at 2.

I didn't find her grouchy. Also we agreed that I'd come in at 1 so that she could play it be FOUR-ARMED BANDIT before he came. She told him that she had played and thought it was great.
