Wrote the rules for <u>SPACE STIX</u>. | Wrote the rules for <u>SPACE STIX</u>. | ||
<u>Felicia</u> called. The model of <u>OPEN BRIDGE</u> came back with <u>LIVE WIRE</u>. <br> | |||
No letter. <u>Jim Goldbury</u> was supposed to look at it, and Felicai <br> | |||
thinks that he was out of town. Maybe it was returned <br> | |||
by mistake (but I doubt it). If she doesn't get a letter by <br> | |||
Thursday she'll call while I am there. <br> | |||
<u>Virginia Russell</u>, who did <u>RACE THRU SPACE GAMES</u>, is trying <br> | |||
for some kind of "Woman of the year" award in Buffalo. She would <br> | |||
like me to write a letter stating that it is a good educational game. <br> | |||
Told Felicia I'd look it over and talk to her about it <br> | |||
Thursday when I go there. | |||

the answer. <br> | |||
<u>Bob</u> asked if I had anything to ask him. Yes, when are the <br> | |||
games going to be out. Roughly - in 18 months. But as soon <br> | |||
as something is definite we will be the first to know. <br> | |||
I checked and : <u>X-CHANGE-WORD</u> is still being considered. <br> | |||
<u>RED LETTER</u> almost certainly will be in the first batch. <br> | |||
<u>FITTING & PROPER</u> will be early but not necessarily among <br> | |||
the first. I brought up that the contract makes them contact <br> | |||
us about it at the end of the year. He agreed. <br> | |||
After talking to Bob I mentioned that what they probably <br> | |||
wanted something like <u>ROLAMATIC BRIDGE</u> or <u>DOOP</u>. <br> | |||
Felicia said that <u>ROLAMATIC BRIDGE</u> was bombing and that there <br> | |||
was a good chance that Hallmark had bought out <u>DOOP</u>. They <br> | |||
had asked her a lot of questions about it some time ago. <br> | |||
The inventor of <u>REVOLUTION & COUNTERREVOLUTION</u> has changed <br> | |||
it in accordance with my suggestions. He thinks I am a <br> | |||
great guy, but she thinks I should have gotten some money. <br> | |||
But it is too late now. <br> | |||
In the call from <u>Bob Edwards</u> Felicia asked him about <br> | |||
the two games the <u>Duval</u> had placed with them. Bob said <br> | |||
that <u>REPARTEE</u> was good, and the other <u>GAME</u>s so-so. <br> | |||
Earlier I had told Felicia about <u>Claude</u>'s card word <u>GAME</u> <br> | |||
and she had said she probably wouldn't submit it to <br> | |||
Hallmark, altho I said I didn't mind. After talking to <br> | |||
Bob she said she'd really like to see it. I'll get Claude <br> | |||
busy on it. <br> | |||
Felicia called <u>Ivan "Flash" Kronenfeld</u> and had me talk to <br> | |||
