"Dynasty International" - DYNASTY. Spoke to Paul C. Huang, the inventor, and another fellow whose name I didn't get. They remembered getting my letter but didn't answer because they didn't want to be known as a war game. I told them that my column was on non- war games. They said they'd think about whether they want to be written. I said that I'd like to buy a copy, but would like to get it at wholesale. The other fellow said he'd send me one as soon as they get in a new supply. I said I'd gladly pay for one. He said they gave out so many that one more wouldn't make any difference, even if they don't want me to do a review. (See Catalog - pg. 245.0

"Stellador" - Passed by and recognized Zena Gelman who I spoke to at the International Toy Fair. She gave me a copy of MEM (altho I already have one).

She also still wants my autograph on her copy of AGOG. Told her I'd send her a signed lable when I send her a copy of the review. Marge Naramore - Felicia knows her and she suggested that I stop by and remind her to send me SMOG and DIRTY WATER. Did it, but Marge was rather busy. In the same booth spoke to { Daniel Klein, GROUPTHERAPY Associates, 98 Riverside Drive (Apt. 14H) He was interested in S & T and would like to see a copy. Promised to send him one. "Stellador" (cont.) - Zena gave me a repro of a letter from Anatol W. Holt giving examples of MEM play, both solitaire and for 2.

Met Keith Tuggle and here for supper. Discussed EXECUTIVE DECISION and the number of components req'd. Showed him FREE FORM and he liked it. Took the rough model and said that they'd give it a preliminary check before having me send a final model. When he saw my game shelves he offered to send me a supply of inside boxes from the bookshelf games so (cont. on 4/24)
