Called <u>Claude</u>. He spoke to Felicia about his idea of adding<br>
more solutions to <u>ECLIPSE</u>. She said she wants it to go together<br>
with my game (<u>POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER</u>) and just to add<br>
a note that he can include more solutions. Arranged to<br>
meet at Metropolitan Book Store at 10 tomorrow and then<br>
go to Kohner together.
 
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. Depressed. She hears rumors that 3M is<br>
trying to sell off the games. (She mentioned this a few<br>
weeks ago.) <u>BALI</u> is down about $20 from last year.<br>
She heard from <u>Hans Goldschmidt</u>. He is doing children's<br>
things again and wants her to handle him.<br>

When I started to draw up the <u>POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER</u> solutions<br>
(24) saw that I couldn't be ready for tomorrow morning.<br>
Contacted Claude and changed meeting to Weds. at 10.<br>
 
<u>Bob Gellman</u> in his call told me he was preparing a letter with the quantities sold so<br>
far on <u>PATTON</u> (about 300 I think) and <u>HOLIDAY</u> (less). He<br>
asked who should get the original and who the carbon. Told him<br>
original to me and carbon to Felicia. He'll send the money all<br>
to me. We'll get it in December. Felicia later told me that<br>
he had said it to her. It's O.K. with her.<br>
BB brought me <u>THE PETER PRINCIPLE GAME</u> from ''<u>PSYCHOLOGY TODAY</u>''<br>
(see 9/23/72). (Filed in 1973 Misc.)
