for adults. It consists of a considerable number of
plastic "picks" and 12 whales in 4 colors and 1 white
whale. Players in turn choose a pick and try it in a
hole in the whale. If it fits right the whale can be picked
up with it and the player gets it. After getting 3 whales (what
colors?) he can try for the white whale.
<s>Frank</s>Jerry looked at PATHFINDER. He found it was much
like [crossed out] Frank's <u>SQUIGGLE</u>, which 3M is going to test market.
Jerry worried about this and decided not to say anything to
Frank.
Jerry, who is a good friend of Haus Goldschmidt, worked
on assembling <u>FUTURE</u>. He and Hans worked out a better version
(which he forgot) but Kaiser wasn't interested in it.
He and Hans were also involved with <u>CHOICE</u>.
Jerry was looking for a children's card <u>GAME</u>. Transogram
is interested but wants to make sure is in public domain (Why?).
It is a game where you ask for cards, each one having a
long name such as "Sir Harry Finenduster" (not quite this), his wife,
children, dog, etc. and must ask by full name and must say
thank you when you get it. I looked through my books and couldn't find
it tho I remember the funny name from somewhere.
[NOTE FROM TRANSCRIBER: Sackson may be referencing "Sir Hinkle Funny-Duster"]
In my conversation with Alice we decided not to send
Connor's split-letter <u>GAME</u> to "X" before we talk to Arnold
Shapiro at the toy fair.
