Call from <u>Barbara Weinstein</u>. Arranged time and place for
meeting Saturday. I wanted to discuss what I would do in
detail but she said to take it as it comes (which proved to be
the right approach).
<br>Call from <u>Felicia</u>. <u>Herb Roth</u> <s>sent</s> referred to her an inventor - <u>Mr. Kinik</u> -
who invented a game like <u>MEM</u>, which he has a patent on. He
knows of me thru <u>AGOG</u> and he mentioned <u>THE MATCH GAME</u> -
which makes me think he meant <u>NIM</u> rather than <u>MEM</u>, since
Felicia spoke to him on the phone - but both she and Herb
think it was <u>MEM</u>. He'd like me to see the game. She'll set
date for next Thurs. [Thursday] at 2 and I'll probably be there.
<br><u>Vincent Grissino</u> brought her the model of <u>SHIFT</u> and it was
beautiful. She'll try to have him come Thurs. at 3. He's
taking Kantrell to court, which makes Felicia nervous. She won-
ders whether to handle his game. I said that the only places
I could think of <s>whe</s> were Aladdin - who have <u>PUSHOVER</u> - and
Parker who flopped with <u>SQUARE OFF</u>. She said that Grissino
had a nice rejection letter from Parker.
<br>I told her that I might not be able to make it Thurs. because,
thru "Gamut of Games," I had to meet with a celebrity. She said
that she certainly didn't want to pry, but wanted to ask one
question. She asked is it had anything to do with word games -
specifically <u>QUICKSAND</u>. Definitely not.
<br>She asked if she should send my check for the <u>DAISY<u> article, or
hold it for when I was there. Said I'd pick it up.
<s>Henry Se</s> <u>Henryk Szwarce</u> has had his friend, <u>Rolf Myller</u>,
contact her. He mentioned me and I said that the name
is familiar but I don't recollect the details. Can look it up in diary - but she said not to bother.
<br>Myller has 10 games - one sexy based on a book of his -
"Fantasy" - which either was just published or will be.
One of his games is being considered by <u>Jack Jonathon</u> - who
Felicia knows is a big shot at Hallmark. Myller never heard
of <u>Bob Johnson</u>.
<br>Felicia mentioned that <u>Jim Goldsberry</u> has terminal cancer.
I told Felicia about <u>Moses Goldman</u> and <u>RACING FANS</u>. She and
Herb are annoyed with him. They kept asking him if he
was sure he could use the name <u>RUMMIKUB</u>. Now it develops
that he can't. They are changing it to <u>RUMMY-TILE</u> (which
is really a better name) but it loses time in changing the box.
