JANUARY 1976 - THURSDAY 29
29TH DAY - 337 DAYS TO COME

Letter from Robert Horn. He'd like to get a copy of DYNASTY,
or if not possible - a copy of the rules.

Letter from Walter Luc Haas. Mentioned his three magazines: EUROPA,
BUMM, and JOKER; AGOG; G & P; BEYOND TIC TAC TOE, Dave Watts.
He'd like me to write articles on ACQUIRE, BAZAAR, SLEUTH, etc. He will
probably be going to Nurnberg - and will get info for me if he does.
Enclosed a list of all the S.P.I. games he has.

Going over the games to be reviewed - planning my next column.
Added some to the 2 1/2" x 3" cards.

Went into the travel agent near Domino for some info. Saw a box of
last year's booklets. Brought car and took a load. After sorting
them and discarding a lot put the remainder in the basement -
also those that Claude once gave me.
