To "Tree Communications." <u>Marilyn Nierenberg</u> read my manuscript,
mainly to make sure that she understood all the games:
<u>MANCALA</u>, <u>MILL</u>, <u>THE JUNGLE GAME</u>, <u>ANAGRAMS</u>, <u>LASCA</u>, and <u>QUICK TRIP</u>.
Discussions including another gal and the photographer and they
will probably start the article with a full page photo of two
kids playing <u>THE JUNGLE GAME</u> and end it with a full page photo
of <u>QUICK TRIP</u> being played by adults.
Marilyn gave me a check for $375 - which included $25 for the
weaving instructions BB wrote up.
Lunch with Marilyn and then I left while the photographed the
games. Arranged to be back about an hour and a half later.
<br>To S.P.I. <u>Howie Barasch</u> on vacation. <u>Redmund</u> checked his desk
and didn't see anything for me.
Made repros of the following: <u>5-5</u> board, which also has rules on it.
<u>CONTIGO</u> rules. <u>THOUGHTWAVE</u> - the sample game on the bottom
of the box and two repros of the pcs. - couldn't do the rules since
they are on box cover. <u>DOUBLE DEALER</u> - rules, client cards,
Antique cards (made 2 sets).
Took a boxed copy of <u>NAPOLEON AT WAR</u>, with the following four games:
<u>MARENGO</u>, <u>JENA-AVERSTADT</u>, <u>WAGRAM</u>, and <u>THE BATTLE OF NATIONS</u>. Also
took an unboxed set.
<br>To Reiss Games to talk to <u>Manny Lefkowitz</u> to talk about
the <u>SPECTACULARS</u>. In conference and I left word for him to call
me tomorrow.
<br>Back to "Tree Communications." Photographer took pictures of 4
of us playing <u>QUICK TRIP</u> - then pictures of me. Took back all
my material except for the board for <u>THE JUNGLE GAME</u>, which
Marilyn kept for photographing after the pictures of animals are
drawn up. Left her a copy (I have another at home) of
<u>MARIE-CLAIRE</u> Magazine to use to get ideas.
Asked her to let me know when she is finished editing my written mat-
erial so that I can check against an inadvertent change in meaning.
She will.
