11 Tuesday - September 1973
245th day - 111 days to come

Call from Felicia. She was at home and wanted to call Bob Gellman to cancel a date today. Couldn't find his phone number. Gave it to her.
She rcd. [received] copies of PATTON & HOLIDAY and liked the way they looked. She talked Rappaports into ordering them as a personal favor. They say that there are just too many games.
I told her that Ruth Shaller (I confirmed the spelling) would probably be upset that our names weren't included. Felicia said she wouldn't give a damn. Ruth has already put in an order for copies of HOLIDAY to sell in Texas.

Rcd. a UPS package with two copies of PATTON. My and Bob Champer's name are on the rules.

(cont. from 9/19) [9/19]

Stubman. Of course.

Ira Mothner, a freelance writer doing a piece on games for COSMOPOLITAN interviewed me for about 2 hours. He was interested in the recent history of the game industry, and asked questions about the game companies. I told him that A.H. and 3M had started things going something more than 10 years agos.
Ira seemed interested in my games. He looked at ACQUIRE and SLEUTH in some detail. He took a list of all my games currently on the market even tho I told him that the Stancraft 4 - ODD OR EVEN, TEMPO, INTERPLAY, and TRANSFORMATION - hardly sold anything. Told him about the story of PATTON and the empty box and he said he "had to use that."
I told him that he could get copies of my games and more info from Jack Davis. Gave him the address. He said he was going to Mike Alber's and would pro tomorrow and would probably see Jack Davis then.
