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 <u>Jim Dunnigan</u> 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 <u>S&T</u> &#35;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.
