Card from <u>S.K. Howard</u>. He came across an old copy of a
game <u>BEAT THE MARKET</u> and wondered if it was the one we
have been talking about. No, it is by Clever Games, not
by Kribs.
<br>Rcd. a letter that had been sent to Pantheon. It was to
<u>ALTAIR DESIGN</u>, not to me.
<br>Rcd. a letter from <u>Steve Wilson</u>. Thanks me for <u>THE 6 PACK ---</u>;
has played <u>FINANCIER</u>, <u>PAY  OFF</u>, and <u>OIL STRIKE</u>; asks about
<u>SPY</u>; won't play <u>THE GREAT RACES</u> since they prefer <u>SOLITAIRE DICE</u>.
He has joined <u>NOST</u> and lost two games of <u>LAP</u> to <u>Phil Cohen</u>. Also
mentions <u>KNIGHT CHASE</u>, <u>Martin Gardner</u>, and <u>AGOG</u>.
Mentions picking up out of print games in small towns: <u>PSYCHE-PATH</u>
(with a reference to this and <u>VECTOR</u> being in the Cuisenair Catalog),
<u>BOUNDARY</u>, <u>LINK-UP</u>, and <u>CITADEL</u> (which he offered to send me).
Asks about my creativity, mentioning <u>S&T</u>, <u>THE 6 PACK---</u>, <u>REALM</u>,
<u>FITTING & PROPER</u>, <u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>, <u>SLEUTH</u>, <u>MONAD</u>, <u>VENTURE</u>,
<u>BEYOND TIC TAC TOE</u>.
His new efforts are <u>DOUBLE JUMP</u> - using two <u>SOLITAIRE</u> boards
and an unnamed <u>GAME</u> using the <u>RELATE</u> equipment,
<br>Call from <u>Earl</u> and I invited him here for supper. Nothing on games ex-
cept that Parker returned <u>DON'T BLOW A FUSE</u> after keeping it about
6 months. Schaper wrote that they weren't interested. And he keeps
calling <u>Jules Cooper</u> but he never calls back.
<br>Wrote to <u>Marek Penszko</u>. Mentioned <u>PROBLEMY</u>, <u>Lech Pijanowski</u>,
<u>FOOTBALL</u>, <u>Martin Gardner</u>; <u>MINI-KRZYZOWKA</u>, <u>WIROWKA</u>, <u>KRATKOWNICA</u>,
<u>HARCABY</u>, <u>MURY</u>, <u>NAKRYWANKA</u>; <u>AGOG</u>.

him about what transpired.
<br>The rules for <u>SLY</u> will be coming from Amway in a day or so and
he'll send them to me to check. We should get the rest of our money
by the end of Oct.
<br>He asked me who the man in charge was at 3M. I asked why
he wanted this and he said that is a confidential project that
might - but probably wouldn't - be attempted with either (or is it all?)
3M, M.B., or P. Told him <u>Keith Juggle</u> was in nominal charge.
<br>I asked if I could get another 6 packages of <u>THE 6 PACK---</u>.
Yes, just pick them up.
<br>2nd call from <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. He is working on a game based on solving
codes - a children's level game, from (I believe) an idea some-
one brought to him. He asked if anything has been done. I
remembered one but couldn't recollect the name. After
talking about it he said <u>THE CIPHER FILE</u>, which he has a copy
of - and his idea is different.
