Felicia called BB at home and I called her from the office. She <br>
said that she would be very happy to have me come tomorrow <br>
when Mr. Cass comes. <br>
She is quite worried about what Will Erickson wants to see <br>
her about on May 20th. He told her it was quite important but wouldn't <br>
give her any hints.
Found a book <u>HOME MADE GAMES</u> in the basement, which I once <br>
bought for Dale, and added it to my collection - even tho it has <br>
very little in it.

Tom told me about an art teacher, Paul Gruen, who <br>
quit to go into partnership with two other men in producing <br>
educational toys and games. The others gave him the <br>
business. Tom introduced him to Hank Simmons who gave <br>
him a $1,200 a month retainer, against royalties to  develope <br>
games for Parker. Starting in September he came <br>
up with about six, of which Parker just gave him contracts <br>
for 3. One is a strategy game, using a three <br>
dimensional board with series of steps (I gathered from <br>
his description but am not sure about it.). <br>
Hank was so happy with his work that he will probably <br>
give him the retainer plus royalties. One thing he did <br>
was fix up a Marvin Glass item they bought and then found <br>
was no good. (This is all confidential.) [See 7/2 for more on Tom.]
At 3M (further) Will said it would be O.K. to send my <br>
comments on <u>DIGIT</u> at the beginning of next week. They <br>
will just be getting to it.
