Wrote to <u>Dick Harris</u> asking for review copies of <u>BODY LANGUAGE</u>,
<u>JET WORLD</u>, <u>TANK BATTLE</u>, <u>STAKE OUT</u>, <u>SKIRMISH</u>, <u>PIZZA PIE</u>,

<br>Wrote to <u>Ron Weingartner</u> asking for review copies of <u>LUCKY NUMBERS</u>,
<u>DECEPTION</u>, <u>NEVADA 15</u>, and <u>PLAYOFF</u>. Mentioned <u>FOUR-ARMED BANDIT</u>.


Through Random House rcd. [received] a letter from a librarian in Cupertino,
CA. Mentioned <u>AGOG</u> and asked for info on <u>LOGOMACHY</u>.
Dale & Phil, at flea market in Conn. [Connecticut], bought me a copy of <u>PIT</u>-
1919 copyright on rules and 1904 copyright on a card.
With Phil and Annette <u>Laurence</u> played <u>FREE FOR ALL</u>.
Wrote the rules for <s>the</s> <u>THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME</u>
using the suggestions of 3/14.

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

of <u>PHALANX</u>, <u>CENTURION</u>, etc. while they were available; <u>CENTURION</u>
was available and I took one - no <u>PHALANX</u>. Also took 3 copies of the
"SPI Catalog '75."
<br>Made repros [reproductions] of the material for <u>John Gollon</u> but missed one sheet
in <u>TRITACTICS</u>. Made 2 copies of each of the four Dutch pamphlets,
to keep one on file.
<br>Made 2 copies of the rules of <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u>. (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 <u>Claude</u>. Among other things, <u>Wald</u> 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' <u>Harry Lorayne</u> 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.
<br>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 <u>Felicia</u> about Parker [Parker Brothers] she mentioned the
<u>Mike McCarthy</u> is going back to a family business. His place will
be taken by <u>Andrea Donahue</u>.
