and they think I should try to have an answer from <u>Bob Hallowell</u> <br> | and they think I should try to have an answer from <u>Bob Hallowell</u> <br> | ||
by them. <br> | by them. <br> | ||
<u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u> - Didn't look at it much. | <u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u> - Didn't look at it much. Agreed on same arrangement <br> | ||
as with <u>HABITAT</u>. <br> | |||
<u>THE WORM TURNS</u> - They liked it but weren't sure how to package <br> | |||
it. Got sidetracked to other things without coming to a <br> | |||
definite conclusion. <br> | |||
<u>FREE FORM</u> - They really liked it. Took it with them for <u>Phil Orbanes</u> <br> | |||
to price out. <br> | |||
<u>TANGLED WEB</u> - Showed the large one to them (<u>Felicia</u> has the <br> | |||
small one). They liked it a lot. Told them that <u>Bob Hallowell</u> <br> | |||
and <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> had tried to price it out, without success. <br> | |||
They want me to show it to <u>Bill Knox</u>. He can, they say, do <br> | |||
things that other companys can't. For one thing, he does his <br> | |||
own molding in plastic. <br> | |||
<u>AGOG</u> - Manny borrowed a copy to read. | |||
Called <u>Bob Hallowell</u>. Not in. Left word for him to call back. <br> | |||
Later Jean, his secretary, called to say he would call me <br> | |||
Thursday. <br> | |||
The registered letters for <u>GROOVE</u> and <u>HOLEY TERROR</u> came. | |||
Rcd. <u>''THE GENERAL''</u> (Vol. 8, No. 4 - Nov.-Dec. 1971). | |||
Added small square pcs. in the corners of the openings in <br> | |||
<u>HABITAT</u> to keep the upper pcs. from slipping out. | |||
Realized that in <u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u> I could add another <br> | |||
relation - that between a type of tile and itself. Probably won't do it. | |||
<u>Earl Perel</u> called. The volunteer who looked at his application for <br> | |||
a loan from the Small Business Administration didn't think <br> | |||
that game inventing is a business. He doesn't have the final <br> | |||
word but it doesn't look too encouraging. <br> | |||
[illegible crossed out] Earl once wrote to the author of a book and thru him <br> | |||
was put in touch with a patent lawyer. Earl went to see him <br> | |||
and was told that there was no point in spending the money <br> | |||
to patent his games. How is he going to fight someone who wants to <br> | |||
steal the idea? He was interested in Earl's games, however. <br> | |||
He thinks he may have some people who would put up the money <br> | |||
to produce them. (I told Earl not to count on it.) | |||
[Preprinted on page in red ink: Have you ordered your diary for next year? See number in front of book] | |||
Earl showed him (and also the S.B.A volunteer) two <br> | |||
games. One was <u>KNIGHTS & SQUIRES</u>, a <u>CHESS</u> variation played <br> | |||
on the <u>EMPEROR CHECKERS</u> board (see 11/24). The other I don't remember. | |||
