<br>San Diego, California 92111
<br>In Bridgeport bought a copy of <u>THE BOOK OF TAROT</u> - $2.99 at Walden Books.
At museum bought a set of 4 old cars for 35¢, possibly to use as
markers in <u>QUICK TRIP</u>.
Showed Claude the letter from <u>Phil Cohen</u> on <u>LOA</u>. Claude wants
Phil to write to him.
Claude gave me ideas for my lecture at Bloomingdales, such as
asking for a show of hands as to who knew various different games.
Also a few sets of crayons could inexpensively supply markers for
a lot of kids to play. I thought of carboard backings for them to
play in the audience.
