Tuesday 5 March 1968

65th day - 301 days to come

Alice called. She is going to see Bob Engel and a girl working under him, of Whitman at 3:30 on 3/11. I will join them at 4, after she shows them some other games. I will bring MINI-FOCUS to show them.
Alice called the retailer who is a vice-president of Champion games. SPECTRUM arrived. In a few weeks they will be returning the game they find they are sure they don't want.
She wrote to Arnold Shapiro of X. She said she could see their point in shelving NOMINATION but is disappointed about CINEMA which she thinks is a great game. Arnold will be in town for Toy Fair and we'll try to arrange my meeting him.
Bill Dodge visited her and told her that Charlie Leicht & Bernie Alpher had left Lowe and started their own business. This may be a good market since they know Charlie Leicht very well.
Bill said that he hadn't gotten his check for NILE yet but that he had heard that the sales were not nearly as good as originally predicted.
Felica saw QUINTO as a [crossed out] listed in a premium store. This means that it may be closing out since premium store rarely play [crossed out] pay full price.

More work on VENTURE CAPITAL cards.

Henry Slesar (see 2/29) sent me a roll of narrow black tape and said that he hadn't been able to locate the catalog he had on it. He remember, however, that the manufacturer or distributor was "Caddylak Systems" and that they had advertised extensively in signature, the Diner's Club Magazine.

Finished the new set of VENTURE CAPITAL cards except for cutting the corners.

(cont. from 3/12) [3/12]
Claude called. He asked what Alice was doing with LOA. I suggested he call next week. Claude says he has some Times clippings for me, nothing too exciting.

The tape from Caddylak came. It was not much larger than the one Henry sent me.
