Rcd. THE GAMESLETTER - Vol. 6, No. 20 (Dated Feb., 1970). It had a number of enclosures including a roster of members. In the review of S & T (No. 19) he says "A very handsome issue, saved only by the com- plete game and the Sid Sackson column from being very disappointing in terms of contents. - - - "

Rcd. a folder from Book of the Month Club offering BRIDGEVERYONE. (Filed in 1970 Ad Clips.)

Rcd. another letter from "Michael Trombetta". He wrote to Ideal about CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN but they have none left. He asked if I could send him a description and the rules so he could make a set for himself.

Rcd. a card from Warren Buell, on business trip in Korea.

Rcd. a carbon copy of a short note from Bob Engel to Felicia. He will keep us informed on FOCUS and FLINGERS.

At lunch to Child Craft. Exchanged the pegboard. The only other one they had was also warped, but not nearly as badly. Also bought another box of pegs.

At last minute called Claude to see if he wanted to join me at Skunkworks tonight. Too late. To Skunkworks. About ten youngsters there, including Al Nofi, who did the review of AGOG, and Dave Levine, who was the most helpful in finding me the test-series material I needed. He offered to teach me LENSMAN. Told him that as soon as I get a little time we'll meet there some day other than a Friday. Jim left me repro's of my column on VECTOR, QUADS, & LENSMAN. Also a check for $10. Tried to call him later to tell him I didn't want the money but couldn't get him, either busy or no answer. Took the following test-series games:-

  • FLYING FORTRESS (The complete game.) This replaces LUFTWAFFE.
  • TACTICAL GAME 3 (The complete game.)
  • 1918 (Board, rules, and uncut pieces.)
  • 1914 (REVISION) (Rules and uncut pieces.)
