5 Saturday - July 1975
186th Day - 179 Days to Come

Wrote to Dick Harris asking for review copies of BODY LANGUAGE, JET WORLD, TANK BATTLE, STAKE OUT, SKIRMISH, PIZZA PIE, WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS GOLF, WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS AUTO RACING, WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS TENNIS.
Wrote to Ron Weingartner asking for review copies of LUCKY NUMBERS, DECEPTION, NEVADA 15, and PLAYOFF. Mentioned FOUR-ARMED BANDIT.

Through Random House rcd. [received] a letter from a librarian in Cupertino, CA. Mentioned AGOG and asked for info on LOGOMACHY.

Dale & Phil, at flea market in Conn. [Connecticut], bought me a copy of PIT- 1919 copyright on rules and 1904 copyright on a card.

With Phil and Annette Laurence played FREE FOR ALL.

Wrote the rules for the THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME using the suggestions of 3/14.

(cont. from 7/6) [7/10]

of PHALANX, CENTURION, etc. while they were available; CENTURION was available and I took one - no PHALANX. Also took 3 copies of the "SPI Catalog '75."
Made repros [reproductions] of the material for John Gollon but missed one sheet in TRITACTICS. Made 2 copies of each of the four Dutch pamphlets, to keep one on file.
Made 2 copies of the rules of FOREIGN INTRIGUE. (Later in looking at the rules discovered the on pg. 3 the sentence "But the other players will also learn the same information" is not always correct.

Call from Claude. Among other things, Wald is interested in a NYGA [New York Gaming Association] meeting. I said to set one up and I'd probably make it - but later told Claude that I just need a vacation from games, which is why I was so unenthusiastic.

After the meeting at Reiss' Harry Lorayne wanted company while he ate and I had coffee and a bran muffin. He said that since his new book was to be on remembering faces he wasn't anxious to give it away in the game. Since Reiss wants faces, he thought of the idea of matching them with professions instead of with names.
In the evening realized that with 8 faces and professions, it will be much easier to "peg" the professions to positions instead of tying faces to professions.

[arrows pointing to line paragraph above and paragraph below] [started on 7/10]

When talking to Felicia about Parker [Parker Brothers] she mentioned the Mike McCarthy is going back to a family business. His place will be taken by Andrea Donahue.
