MONDAY 15 MAY Monday in Whitsun Week 1967 135th day - 230 days to come

Asked Pete, in the office, if it [crossed out] is difficult to make up wood cubes, as someone did for me when I worked in the Navy Yard. He said "no" and that he would make some for me.

Called Alice. Made arrangement to bring PAYOFF to her next Monday during the day, after which I'll go to Stationery Show. Will also show them VENTURE CAPITAL and TAKE A NUMBER.

In Playboy Magazine saw a 3M sports game among the father's day's gifts - THINKING MAN'S GOLF.

Called Bill Bentzin and had quite a long talk. He told me of a piece on me in July Women's Worl WOMEN'S WORLD MAGAZINE. He'll try and get another copy of it to send me. He told me that the following games are in the 3M sports line:-

  • THINKING MAN'S GOLF
  • WIN, PLACE, AND SHOW
  • BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL
  • PRO FOOTBALL

Only new bookshelf game is FACTS-IN-FIVE.

I mentioned that since I am supposed to be a consultant I should see all the latest games. He said he'd send me copies of all the new games he gets them. Dick Joyce, the publicity man from St. Paul, was with him and he asked him again for copies of my clippings. The man who has Bill Caruson's job (Bill was pro- moted) is Jim Morgan. Either one of them or the other will be in town for the stationery show. Bill Bentzin will try to set up an appointment for me to see them on Monday (the only day I'll be in town). He'll call me later in week. Asked him about JATI. It is definitely finished. As for MR. PRESIDENT, they may do something with it, or with another political game.

Fay called. She will send me her, more-or-less completed, presentation of TREASURE HUNT for me to check for technical errors.

Played several games of TAKE A NUMBER by myself. Great.
