MONDAY 23 MAY 1966 143rd day - 222 days to come

Called Felicia. Asked her make an appointment with Parker to show AIRLINE. She called me back. Hank Simmons will be in N.Y. Wednesday & we have an appointment for 11 A.M. In evening finished the instructions except for the short game.

Felicia read me the following from a report she received today from Hallmark:- NOMINATION & CINEMA:- Like them better each time they play. SHAPE AND SHATTER:- Out for panel testing but not enough questionnaires have been returned yet. RUSTLERS:- working on production problems. BAFFLE:- panel testing. NUMBER FOOTBALL & FORMATION:- Good initial reception. INVASION:- Not reviewed yet. SIT DOWN AND THINK:- Great potential. Everyone liked it. Could see why 3M wants it back. GO, SEE:- Returning. Not enough chance for skill. Bidding too routine. Felicia & I were both shocked at this.

Felicia said that Ruth's game of LOST CITY was changed to Daktari (after the T.V. program about animals in Africa) and was a lot of fun.

One of the inventors of CAMPAIGN (who I met at Toy Fair) called. He and his partners will be over Friday, June 3 and will bring me a copy of the game.

Rcd. a letter from Jim Silliman (who had original ordered a copy of FOCUS). He included an original pencil & paper game called SQIZZETS.
