343rd day - 22 days to come


Call from Felicia. She sent a manuscript of George Bredehorn's puzzles - those that were in NEWSDAY 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.
Felicia rcd. her copy of DAISY and GIRL SCOUT LEADER. Mind should is on the way.
She has a date next Tuesday with Parker. They want to look at two things of Alan Newman's that they liked before. Felicia has two more of Alan's to show plus some from other clients.
She asked if I'd like to look at them and seemed to want me to. Made a date for tomorrow at 2.
She mentioned TIME IS MONEY as one of the games she might show - she has a new model. I told her about SPELLBOUND - not that is the same game, but to keep her informed.
The way I understood her is that Rappaports still only has INTERSECTION of the Aladdin games. They bought them after Toy Fair for $1.
She is fighting with Shep Bentley that the Aladdin games, and certainly Bali, should be in the better stores. He and the staff are oriented towards the discounters - thru jobbers.
The only place that has BALI is John Stephenson'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.
