251ST DAY * 114 DAYS TO COME<br>
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Calls from <u>Felicia</u> (first interrupted by another call). She has been<br>
in contact with <u>Bob Rudolph</u> (who, she says, acts as a rep for<br>
Mag-Nif but doesn't work for them). He flipped over <s>Denis</s><br>
<u>Dennis Ladouceur</u>'s <u>DAMN IT</u> (How did he come to see it?). He is<br>
going to present it to the president of "Synergistics" today. If<br>
he is interested the pres. will contact Felicia. (I asked, and Felicia<br>
said that Rudolph reps for Synergistics.) Synergistics is interested<br>
[Illegible crossed out] in diversifying since the sales of Velcro [Velcro?] darts is slowing up.<br>
If she does not get contacted by the pres. she thinks she might try to<br>
interest him in <s>THE WINNING TICKET</s> <u>WIN IT YOUR WAY</u> (which I<br>
checked and I have it here). She mentioned the someone at Ideal had<br>
said the <u>WIN IT YOUR WAY</u> was better than <u>MASTERMIND</u>. I said that<br>
it was <u>WIRETAP</u> and possibly this could be shown. Also <u>DARN CLEVER</u><br>
is a possibility. (Checked later and I have <u>DARN CLEVER</u>. I have<br>
record of her receiving <u>WIRETAP</u> and <u>FREE FORM</u> back from M.B. - and no<br>
record of my taking it from her.)<br>
<u>Bob Rudolph</u> is an expert on puzzles and is putting out a <u>PUZZLE</u> of his<br>
own. <u>Dennis Ladouceur</u> said it reminded him of something that one of<br>
my friend's puzzles that Felicia had some years ago. From Felicia's description,<br>
I believe it was <u>Claude</u>'s <u>UPSTAGE</u> (which wasn't a puzzle).<br>
Dennis has two <s>game</s> <u>GAME</u>S that Felicia doesn't think are good enough<br>
to show. But Dennis took them over to <u>Bob Rudolph</u> anyway. One he rejected<br>
at once, but the other - a word game with letter dice - he kept to try and<br>
place (as an agent?)<br>
<u>Bob Rudolph</u> is considering doing <u>LIFE SAVER</u> and two other puzzles of the series.<br>
The mold costs are $100,000, but they are trying to find some country where<br>
it will be cheaper. Felicia is afraid that by dealing with him she wouldn't<br>
be able to deal with Mag-Nif. I told her of <u>Bill Knox</u>' reputation of not<br>
sending back things - and she has heard about it.<br>
Carla Hagen, her friend, has gotten her assignment to do some<br>
P.R. writing for Young & Rubican (where Carla works) on dental floss.<br>
 
<s>To <u>Felicia</u>. She rcd. letter from <u>Bill Riva</u> in England. He showed<br>
<u>SPIN - Pong</u> and the comment was that it was a good idea but<br>
there was no game to go with it. Felicia said that she has been<br>
trying to tell <u>Alan Newman</u> that he has to work out his games.<br>
Riva was told by one company that they have something like<br>
Alan's <u>AMBUSH</u> - but they might be able to take some of Alan's<br>
ideas to improve their game.<br>
Felicia is sure she will be getting some money on the<br>
"Star War" transfers, but is not sure when. She needs money<br>
now and wants to</s><br>
Called "Leisure Learning" in Greenwich, Conn. <u>Richard Bendett</u><br>
not in and spoke to <u>Stephanie Urdang</u>. Asked if I could <br>
come tomorrow to pick up review copies of games. Sure.<br>
 
Rcd. folder from "Henry George School". Among other courses<br>
is <u>THE CITY GAME</u> - Manager - <u>Stanley Sinclair</u>.<br>
