TUESDAY 6 AUGUST 1968
Transfiguration
219th day - 147 days to come
Jerry D'Arcey called and I picked him up at Logan airport.
Called up Hank Simmons and went in about 10:15. Hank spent about 10
minutes with me and then, because of other commitments, turned me
over to Dave Laughridge. Dave looked at my 4 games: -
FITTING & PROPER- looked at shortly and said it was interesting,
but there is another game with a similar flavor that they
are looking at already.
WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? - didn't really look at they see many games
of a similar nature.
TOTALLY-- - looked at shortly. They see many games with number
cubes and he personally is not too interested in them. But it
is up to Hank.
ANOTHER - played a game. He liked it. They had been looking at
for a fast-playing skill game for some time. Recently they
bought (?) a game from a man who had submitted many games
to them. It is not outstanding.
I told him that I'd like to take back any of the games that
he definitely didn't want. But he said he wants to show all of them
to Hank. [He gave me another copy of 75 YEARS OF FUN. This one soft cover.]
Spent the rest of the day in the archives. Saw the following : -

In the evening Jerry showed me the games he brought.
(He left some at Parker, but he brought along two copies of

when he said it.)
FORTUNE DICE. (Manufactured locally by a California gal who
calls herself The Twinson Co.- Los Altos, Cal.)
A fortune telling game. Players ask a question of
one of three types : - 1) On subject of love. 2) How many?

by throw of 2 dice. [Parker wasn't interested.]
