4 Monday - August 1975
216th day - 149 days to come

Called Bob Reiss and he called back. Told him that I didn't like clause 9 of THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME. He said to cross it out. I asked about the advance. The $1500 was sent to Harry Lorayne and I'll have to check with his business agent - a Mr. Cogan in the Empire State Bldg. Bob is in a hurry to have the contract signed. Arranged date tomorrow at 3:00. Called Cogan after getting telephone number from information [phone number]. Spoke to secretary. Nothing can be done until Harry Lorayne gets back at the end of the month.
Call from Felicia. Told me that she rcd. her 2nd quarter statement from 3M. ACQUIRE is the big one - doing better than IMAGE (which she heard was doing very well - before). The total is $1,880.25 (which means $1410.19 to me compared to last year's $1381.90). 3M is finally returning HIGH BID. Larry and Pearl may put it out themselves. Told Felicia that I'd bring her the check tomorrow. Asked, and she wants it made out to Felicia Parker O'Neil.
Since Fabio was supposed to call me tomorrow, I called him. Made date to go there Weds. at 11. I asked if it was for lunch and he said make it at 12, for lunch. He'll have Barbara Weinstein meet with us to discuss the presentation at Bloomingdales.

It was basically on the "Origins I" convention in Baltimore.) Herb said he might be interested in handling S.P.I. games. I told him that Jim Dunnigan was the one to see and that mentioning my name would neither help nor hinder. Felicia didn't think it would be right for him. I rememberer [sic] that I had a copy of S&T #51 for Felicia. Gave it to her and they both looked at it a little. Herb said why didn't I come up with a game that he could manufacture and sell. I tried to pin him down on the type of thing he'd like, with no success other than that it should be in the $10 range.
