To <u>Earl Perel</u>'s apartment. He showed me a book he <s>took</s> had  <br>
out from the public library : - <u>THE FOLKWAYS OMNIBUS OF CHILDREN'S GAMES</u>  <br>
by Iris Vinton - (Stackpole Books - 1970). It is mainly active, <br>
singing, etc. games, but there are quite a few variations  <br>
(simplifications) of standard board games.  <br>
Played his game <u>SPQR</u>, which he had mentioned (not by  <br>
name) when he was at my house. The board is similar (I  <br>
may have the colors arranged different than he has) to  <br>
the diagram.  <br>
