24 MONDAY • JULY 1972
PIONEERS DAY (UTAH) • 206TH DAY • 160 DAYS TO COME
Wrote to Kathy Brooks telling her that FOREIGN INTRIGUE
arrived today. Later rcd. an inquiry from the Post
Office about the missing package. Sent enclosed form back saying
that I just rcd. the package. No postage req'd
To Carl Eisenberg's office at 10. Phil Orbanes there but Carl
wasn't there because of trouble at home. Called Made date
to meet at 11:45 today. While waiting called BB at home
Leonand Willett had called. Last week he went to Felicia's
office and then called her at home. She didn't sound right
to him.
To SimPub with Phil. Ran repros of the Xerox material.
I spoke to Jim D. checked on deadline for next issue -
Aug. 15th, but since my copy is always perfect I can
be late.
To Felicia's and she was O.K. Goofed off last week because
of her birthday. (Later got hen a belated birthday card.)
We spoke about Bob Schneider's death. Bob Gellman has asked her
if she knows someone who could run the factory and preferably
someone who is creative - a junior Sid Sackson. She thinks that
Irv Brambier would be good for the job but doesn't think
he would want to work full time. She also wondered about Al Richter.
I'll check with him when we get together Friday.
Another client has an idea for a showball throwing machine.
She won't take it without a model and gave the client Al's
number.
The inventor of SPHERICAL CHESS contacted Felicia about
handling his games. She refused. (She told me about this once on
the phone.)
She is disgusted with Stancraft, but they still say that they want to put out Dr. Flach's WINDOWS
M. B. sent her a client who presented a hand written set of
rules and a rough sketch. The game has something to do
with landing on spaces of 6 different kinds and "crossroads"
spaces - where two paths cross - have a specific meaning.
(Looked at it veny quickly but the GAME seemed incomprehensible
and not very interesting.)
Felicia gave me an extra set of rules and a picture of
RED WHITE & BLUE (filed in I.S. folder). She just rcd. the
board and other equipment today even the she had told them
not to send it.
Dynamic Design has turned down BEAT POLLUTION (it hits
you in the face too much) but are still interested in
ENVIRONMENT. House of Games would have liked to buy some
5,000 copies of BEAT POLLUTION to sell in Europe.
Parker still likes WHAT'S IT WORTH IN DOLLARS? a lot.
She showed me the GAME system with wire circuits
on the back and a number of different transluscent
boards to place on the top of the frame. Parker is interested
in it for 1974 but want to finst see how M.B.
and Ideal make out with a similar item.
