cards to make words.  <br>
Claude asked if I would mind his submitting this to Hallmark.  <br>
Told him that undoubtedly other inventors are submitting word <br>
games, so why shouldn't he. <br>
In evening, back at their house, showed <u>RECONSTRUCTION</u> to <br>
Claude and to Anne. They were too tired to do much on it.  <br>
Claude did see some resemblance to <u>DEDUCTION</u>. However it  <br>
certainly is not a copy, and other inventors could come up with <br>
things like it. I said that I wouldn't submit it to Hallmark <br>
until <u>DEDUCTION</u> is settled. He appreciated that. <br>
Claude suggested that I could use different shaped fields <br>
[illegible crossed out] as well as rectangular. <br>
I mentioned that I had been thinking of making a newspaper <br>
column out of <u>RECONSTRUCTION</u>. He had been thinking of this for <br>
<u>DEDUCTION</u> before he submitted it to Hallmark. <br>
At Claude's mother's apt. looked at some of Claude's books and <br>
saw that he had <u>THEORY OF GAMES AND ECONOMIC BEHAVIOR</u> by <br>
John Van Neamann & Oskar Morganstern (John Wiley - 1964). It is a  <br>
$2.95 paperback. Either I or Claude will get me a copy <br>
for my library. <br>
Borrowed the game <u>RIDER'S UP</u> which Felicia gave to Claude.
