<u>Jerry D'Arcey</u> called from Kennedy Airport. Then, after picking <br>
up his package of games which were sent to Newark by <br>
mistake, he came here about 5. Stayed overnight and <br>
left about 9:30 the next morning for Parker Brothers.  <br>
Asked Jerry about <u>Frank Thibault</u> and told him that I owed <br>
Frank a letter, but Frank never sent me the copy of <u>CONTIGO</u> <br>
he said he would. <br>
<u>CONTIGO</u> looks good with 3M. They had been looking at another <br>
strategy game, but when they decided against it, <br>
the track was open for <u>CONTIGO</u>. <br>
A year or so ago he submitted a kid's game to <s>Schaper</s>
Lakeside and to Schaper called <u>SHAKE A LEG</u>. Both <br>
companies rejected it, the latter saying it was like <br>
<u>COOTIE</u>. Now [illegible crossed out] <u>Garrity</u> of Schaper says they are <br>
coming out with a <u>Marvin Glass</u> thing called <u>SHAKE A LEG</u>. <br>
The game seems somewhat different from Frank's, but  <br>
makes use of a descending marble timer which Frank <br>
used in his game. Frank will check with Garrity when he is  <br>
in Minneapolis. Jerry thinks that someone at Lakeside may <br>
have told Marvin Glass. <br>
<u>Frank</u> has an item, <u>TILT BINGO</u>, which Jerry thinks is <br>
great. Got only a rough idea about a "Bingo" type board <br>
mounted over a bowl so that balls can be tipped into <br>
the bowl. Object to get five in a row. Schaper and Parker <br>
both rejected it, but the latter asked him to resubmit it <br>
for consideration next year. <br>
Jerry is not doing well this year at all. Last year he made  <br>
$32,000 on {Illegible crossed out] <u>PLUG A JUG</u> - this year so far <br>
about $500. <u>THE HOOKER</u> is down from several thousand <br>
to several hundred. (<u>THE HOOKER</u>, incidentally, is an old  <br>
idea he sold to Rathcon, never saying it was his original  <br>
idea.) The <u>IMPUZZABLES</u> are good for a few thousand a year. <br>
Jerry showed me <s>some of</s> the things he was showing to Parker <br>
and then, if not bought, to Schaper and Lakeside. Some were <br>
crafts and some were children's games. The others are: -  <br>
<u>CHERRY GO ROUND</u>. (Really a children's game but we played it.) <br>
There is a {illegible crossed out] bowl cover with a flat disc in <br>
(cont on 9/30)
