----
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She sent a manuscript of <u>George Bredehorn</u>'s
puzzles - those that were in <u>NEWSDAY</u> with some additions (I
believe) -  to "Dell" publications. Katherine Rafferty, some kind of
a big-shot at Dell called her to say that many of the puzzle types
were © by Dell. She was very pleasant and they had a pleasant
conversation. I told Felicia that we had lost touch with
the Bredehorns after a visit where all 4 of us fell asleep.
<br>Felicia rcd. her copy of <u>DAISY</u> and <u>GIRL SCOUT LEADER</u>. Mind <s>should</s>
is on the way.
<br>She has a date next Tuesday with Parker. They want to look at
two things of <u>Alan Newman</u>'s that they liked before. Felicia
has two more of Alan's to show plus some from other clients.
<br>She asked if I'd like to look at them and seemed to want me to.
Made a date for tomorrow at 2.
<br>She mentioned <u>TIME IS MONEY</u> as one of the games she might show -
she has a new model. I told her about <u>SPELLBOUND</u> - not that
is the same game, but to keep her informed.
<br>The way I understood her is that Rappaports still only has
<u>INTERSECTION</u> of the Aladdin games. They bought them after
Toy Fair for $1.
<br>She is fighting with <u>Shep Bentley</u> that the Aladdin games,
and certainly Bali, should be in the better stores. He and the
staff are oriented towards the discounters - thru jobbers.
<br>The only place that has <u>BALI</u> is <u>John Stephenson</u>'s "Games
Gallery" and she keeps forwarding orders to him. He had an
offer to take over the game division at Bretano's, but
Felicia pointed out to him how rapid the turnover is there.
