October 1975 - Tuesday 28
<br>St. Simon and St. Jude Apostles - 301st day - 64 days to come
----
Sent "memo" to <u>Violet I. Gunther</u> (see 10/18) refusing the
material on cards.
<br>Spent day going thru many books and got together a list of
30 games for <u>THE GAME CUBE</u>.
<br>Called <u>Bob Gellman</u> to ask if I could use 16 checkers in-
stead of 15 since this would allow some added variations. O.K.
<br>Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She asked my opinion on <u>SHIFT</u>. 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.
<br>She hears (from whom?) that <u>TOTALLY</u> is doing well. She is unhappy
with what Aladdin is doing with <u>BALI</u>. <u>Alice McElhone</u>, who she says
is very smart, thinks that <u>TRIPPPLES</u> doesn't belong in discount
stores. Felicia feels the same about <u>BALI</u>.
<br>Rcd. letter from <u>Bob Gellman</u> (that he sent from Chicago) with
repro of the <u>STEEPLECHASE</u> face and ad sheets showing the
other five faces of <u>THE GAME CUBE</u>.
<br>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: <u>SHAKESPEARE</u>, <u>TUF</u>, <u>NUMBLE</u>, <u>SPLIT WORDS</u>,
<u>SENTENCE CUBE GAME</u>, <u>REMBI</u>, <u>ONESETS</u>, <u>OUTDOOR SURVIVAL</u>;
<u>PSYCHO SPAGHETTI</u>; <u>VIADUCT</u> (with a very descriptive picture).
<br>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 <u>Brad Hessel</u>.
<br>BB got a book from Barbara <u>Horn</u> - that used to be Laurie's-
<u>GAMES AND PARTIES THE YEAR ROUND</u>.
