Called <u>Art Bernstein</u> and answered some questions he had on <br>
the <u>BACKGAMMON</u> rules and "glossary." <br>
<br>Rcd. Vol. no. 22 of ''<u>FAMILY CREATIVE WORKSHOP</u>''. <br>
<br>Called <u>Fabio</u> to tell him about <u>GANG-ABOOT</u>. Not in and asked to <br>
have him call me. In afternoon when we left, I called and asked <br>
<u>Fay Hartog</u> to have Fabio call me tomorrow morning. <br>
<br>Rcd. X'Mas card from Pantheon signed by him, <u>Fay Hartog</u>. <br>
<u>Jane Feder</u>, <u>Janey Townsend</u>, and others. Sent card "To all the wonderful <br>
people at Pantheon!!" <br>
<br>Rcd. card from <u>Felicia</u> with message. BB Answered it. BB also <br>
sent cards to the <u>Orbanes</u> and the <u>Corn</u>s - with no message. <br>
Also to the <u>Greenough</u>s with message. Also to <u>Bredehorn</u>s with  <br>
message that we'd like to see this. <br>
<br>Didn't hear from the <u>Richter</u>s but BB wrote that we miss them <br>
and would like to see them. <br>
<br>On "All Things Considered" there was a segment on <u>HERSTORY</u>. <br>
<br><s>Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She wonders</s> <br>

(cont. from 12/23) [12/23]
to visualize; and <u>COUNTERSTRIKE</u>, which he thinks calls for <br>
more skill than <u>BACKGAMMON</u>. A board and rules for the latter <br>
are also included in the package, and there is now one that is <br>
comparatively cheap - didn't get the price. <br>
The four of us played <u>ROUND 'N' ROUND</u>. At first we were so <br>
far behind that it was discouraging. Then we started catching <br>
up and ended only two boxes behind. <br>
We played <u>SEARCH</u> and came out with a tie. <br>
We played <u>THE RIGHT WORD</u> and Ronnie won with 230, I had <br>
210, and BB and Audrie each had 155. They liked it. <br>
Ronnie brought along the package of games from ''"Family Pastimes''" <br>
(which we decided to order on 10/2, I believe altho I don't have <br> <br>
any record of it). The following were in it: <u>YIN/YANG</u>; <u>TURNOVERS</u>; <br>
<u>THE FAMILY DECK</u> with rule sheet and an extra booklet <br>
''<u>6 GAMES MORE FOR THE FAMILY DECK</u>''; booklet (for separate charge) <br>
''<u>5 GAMES MORE FOR THE FAMILY DECK</u>''. <br>
<br>We decided to divide <u>YIN/YANG</u> to him and <u>TURNOVERS</u> to me. <br>
He will order another copy of <u>THE FAMILY DECK</u> while I keep this <br>
one. I will get repros of everything that we are not getting in <br>
duplicate. He paid something over $20.00, and will have to pay for <br>
the new order. He only took $10 from me and I'll have to give him <br>
more. (Tho it is true that <u>YIN/YANG</u> is much fancier than <u>TURNOVERS</u>). <br>
<br>Made date for 1/22/77, at their house about 3:00 pm. <br>
<br><u>Claude</u> called as the Corns were leaving. Called him back and spoke <br>
for some time. Discussed tentative dates, but nothing definite.
