FRIDAY 17 FEBRUARY Ember Day 1967 48th day - 317 days to come

Bill Caruson's letter about SIT DOWN AND THINK came also the state- ment of earnings for 1966 -- $6,211.09.

Anne, Claude, BB, & I to Faye's house. Discussed Claude's idea for combining KNIFE YOUR BUDDY and DEDUCTION. Looks promising. Discussed my "living CHESS" idea. Liked it for children. Didn't think the STOCK MARKET GAME would have too much appeal. Later I thought that it might be better just to use KNIFE YOUR BUDDY. Faye typed a small summary which is in a "TV Games" folder.

Paul Milazzo gave Claude a contract for WATCH. Claude told him that he thought other games would be more commercial but Paul wanted this one. Probably it will be more inexpensive but attractive.

Called Jerry D'Arcey at his hotel. He called me back again. Transogram doesn't have a decision yet on PROGRAM-IT. He gave me another build-up to Ed Cole. The latter sent him to Ideal where he spoke to a Mr. Benko. Discussed plastic gadgets rather than games.
