Thursday 21 March 1968
81st day - 285 days to come
Rcd. a letter from Tom Atwater with his suggestions for changes
in the presentation of the TEMPO rules. He also sent the
rules for NAPOLEON AND JOSEPHINE which is simply REVERSI
with a minor variation which permits the first four [crossout] pieces
to be placed anywhere on the board except at an edge.
BB painted the pegs gold & silver for the 3 peg games.
Looking thru the STRATEGOS reproductions. There were a
number of pages with imperfect reproduction and two pages
missing. Called Jim Dunnagen [Dunnigan] and he said he's send me
new repros for those pages.
The catalog for the Caddylak Co. came. In addition to the 1'6"
black tape they have strips of magnets in a large number
of different colors that can be cut into pieces. Filed the
catalog in miscellaneous box on shelf [22].
The letter I sent to A.S.M. Dickins (see 3/18) what returned
for insufficient postage. Added 5¢ to envelope & remailed
it 3/22.
