was along & does. When he heard that I do evaluation work for | |||
Renwal he said that he has read about me and has played | |||
my games, and thinks they are the greatest. They have a | |||
group in Florida who plays games, those that Mrs. Peña (who | |||
is a widow) makes up and others. He would like to meet | |||
me. (I said I'd like to meet him next time he is in town.) | |||
Stan has a new batch of <u>GAME</u>s from Mrs. Peña and | |||
another one called <u>PIRATE'S WALK</u>, which uses simple | |||
multiplication, and after they screen them he will probably | |||
send some for me to evaluate. | |||
He is almost positive that once the costing is done they | |||
will be doing <u>AIRLINE</u>. They have gotten a good price from | |||
Japan (I think) for small markers in plastic boxes. | |||
Felicia called. She had the figures from 3M, but not the | |||
check, the Larry's and Goldschmith's games had the check | |||
sent directly to her for her cut. (I'll probably have to | |||
write to Will again.) | |||

We hope that the reason for the poor showing of the | |||
card games is delay in getting them to the stores. Next | |||
quarter should tell the story. | |||
All the things Felicia showed to Schaper and Playskool | |||
