October 1975 - Tuesday 28
St. Simon and St. Jude Apostles - 301st day - 64 days to come

Sent "memo" to Violet I. Gunther (see 10/18) refusing the material on cards.
Spent day going thru many books and got together a list of 30 games for THE GAME CUBE.
Called Bob Gellman to ask if I could use 16 checkers in- stead of 15 since this would allow some added variations. O.K.
Call from Felicia. She asked my opinion on SHIFT. Told her it was much better than the Kontnell version, but that she was the one who would know if it has any commercial possibilities.
She hears (from whom?) that TOTALLY is doing well. She is unhappy with what Aladdin is doing with BALI. Alice McElhone, who she says is very smart, thinks that TRIPPPLES doesn't belong in discount stores. Felicia feels the same about BALI.
Rcd. letter from Bob Gellman (that he sent from Chicago) with repro of the STEEPLECHASE face and ad sheets showing the other five faces of THE GAME CUBE.
Rcd. another copy of 1976 "Childcraft" Catalog. Noticed some games that I missed [illegible word crossed out] when I looked at the copy I rcd. on 9/23: SHAKESPEARE, TUF, NUMBLE, SPLIT WORDS, SENTENCE CUBE GAME, REMBI, ONESETS, OUTDOOR SURVIVAL; PSYCHO SPAGHETTI; VIADUCT (with a very descriptive picture).
In a call from my cousin, Allan Efros, he mentioned that a nephew of his wife's (Belle) is a worker at S.P.I., and met me. His name is Brad Hessel.
BB got a book from Barbara Horn - that used to be Laurie's- GAMES AND PARTIES THE YEAR ROUND.
