<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. | |||
