Felicia is going to spend a whole day with the development man <br> | |||
from Samsonite. Next year they are coming out with 60 new items, <br> | |||
toys & games, mainly for children. If they ask her, she will advise <br> | |||
them against going into adult games. They will be discussing the 1973 <br> | |||

learn something to get him working in the right direction. <br> | |||
