Call from <u>Gerald Daugherty</u> while I was out. Called him back.
His contact is with "Iberia Airlines. Nothing can be done now, until
their budget is firmed up. He will get back to me as soon as something
is definite, and we'll all get together.
<br>Going over the rules that <u>Harry Lorayne</u> wrote up for
<u>THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME</u>.
<br>Call from {<u>Bob Brass</u> [address] He got my number from <u>Bev. Cooke</u>
and <u>Mary Walmsly</u>. He is the inventor of
<u>THE LOST GOLD OF COYOTE CANYON</u>. There
is some kind of patent problem, and
he asked if I knew of any other games using the mechanism of a hidden
magnet. I mentioned Cadaco's <u>THE SHERLOCK HOLMES GAME</u>. He knows
about this, and it isn't the problem. I didn't know of any other
game; didn't ask him and he didn't tell me any of the details.
<br>I asked what others games he has done. <u>SAFARI ROUND-UP</u> for Waddington's.
I didn't remember it, but it was reviewed in <u>G&P</u>.
<br><u>COVER UP</u> for P. of Canada, P. of England, and also in Germany. At first
I didn't remember it, but then remembered buying it in Canada. But
didn't remember any of the play.
<br><u>TOTEM</u> for Capiepa in France. It won the award last year as best
game of the year.
<br><u>DRAG-OMINOS</u> for Pressman.
He said he'd send me copies of <u>SAFARI ROUND-UP</u>, <u>COVER UP</u> (the Ger-
man edition), <u>TOTEM</u>, and <u>DRAG-OMINOS</u>. I asked if I could send him
anything. Yes - <u>ACQUIRE</u>. Said I would.
<br>He said that he has been very lucky with his games and toys - which
are a sideline with him (he has a good job with Xerox).
