Bob Champer called (and I was real glad to hear from him). Told him that there was no hurry to prepare the historical material on PATTON. He says he has it written. He'll call me Thursday to see about getting together to go over it. He gave me a telephone number where I can reach him.

(cont. from 5/23) [5/23]

Company who is interested in a GAME (see 5/1) to avoid any possible conflict with Felicia. It is a company that is not presently in games but, at Tom's suggestions, they are moving into family games and will advertise them on TV. They intend to come out with 4 or 5 (when?). I asked about names of inventors. They don't intend to put them on, but he can fight for it. I said I wasn't anxious.
So far this company has some games lined up but none, unfortunately are thru him. I suggested TOP-O-LOGIC; it is tied up elsewhere. I suggested NO WAY and he said that it is a good idea but not completely resolved. He told me about a game from a client called COSMIC TIME DELAY. From his brief description it sounded as if it might be something like 4000 AD. He'll look at it.
Told him about HIT THE JACKPOT and he liked it. I'll get it to him ASAP.
He asked me how much agent's fee Felicia asks and I said "I wondered when you were going to ask." Told him. Alex has suggested raising his fee from 10% to 15% and I told Tom that anything that is o.k. with Alex is o.k. with me, without even having to ask me.
I gathered that they are getting NEO-CHESS back from 3M as soon as the inventory is sold out and that it will be done elsewhere. (Where?)
Invited Tom & Alex to stop for supper tomorrow on their way to Concord. He'll let me know.

Call from Bob Gellman (actually came before the one from Tom Atwater). Rick Lewis can't make it Thursday so we changed date to Friday at 10:30 to go over the PATTON board.
