Dear Harry, <br> | |||

Gentlemen: <br> | |||
I recently had the pleasure of seeing a copy of your book <br> | |||
''<u>YESTERDAY'S GAMES</u>'', edited by Dr. Larry Freeman. <br> | |||

<u>Felicia</u> called. An American Indian gal has a Ford Foundation <br> | |||
grant to prepare a documentary on creativity. Her name - <br> | |||
<u>Janna Beebe</u>. She is working with the Columbia (University) <br> | |||
Press Service. She contacted Felicia. They would like to <br> | |||
film a NYGA meeting at Felicia's. Felicia set it up for <br> | |||
7/29 at 1:30, and I said I'd contact <u>Claude</u> & the <u>Amberstones</u>. <br> | |||
Felicia asked me to tell Claude to take back <u>PACK MY TRUNK</u>. <br> | |||
No one likes it at all. <br> | |||
I told Felicia about 3M games in the ''<u>JAPAN TIMES</u>''. She'll try <br> | |||
to find the date in the public library. <br> | |||
<u>Janna Beebe</u> conducts a TV program in Seattle, Washington. | |||
Called <u>Arthur</u>. Told him about the filming at Felicia's. <br> | |||
He called me after checking with <u>Wald</u> and they'll be <br> | |||
there. <br> | |||
After Wald played <u>MONOPOLY</u> on his weekend away, he <br> | |||
and Arthur worked on a financial game, <u>TOWN AND COUNTRY</u>. <br> | |||
It still needs work and if they can have it fixed <br> | |||
by next Thursday they will bring it. It can be played by 2. | |||
<u>Martin Gardner</u> called. He is doing a column on <u>HALMA</u> <br> | |||
type puzzles and asked me some questions on it. Told him <br> | |||
I had the book ''</u>HAND BOOK OF REVERSI HALMA & C</u>'' and he was <br> | |||
impressed. It is mentioned in ''<u>CARD & TABLE GAMES</u>'' by Prof. Hoffman. | |||
I mentioned Parker's edition of <u>HALMA</u>. He brought up <br> | |||
<u>CAMALOT</u> and I mentioned <u>CHIVALRY</u>, <u>SALTA</u>, and <u>JUMPIN</u>. <br> | |||
He saw <u>Conway</u> (of <u>LIFE</u>) and some other mathematic- <br> | |||
