THURSDAY 16 MARCH 1967 75th day - 290 days to come

To Fay's at 9:15. Claude there. Meeting called off at AFIPS because of the two men being snowbound. Told Fay my & Claude my TREASURE HUNT & TOURNAMENT GAMES games. Faye loved the former.

Claude told of his idea for STOCK MARKET GAME with rounds of purchasing stock with the different companies having fairly certain potentialities and dividend payment a dividend payment after each round of purchasing. The idea was good but Fay was not listening, instead was all taken up by my game.

Walked to office and picked up some rubber bands to use with TRINGO.

Felicia had called when I got to office. Called her back and spoke to her even tho she had already spoken to BB. Larry Winters has come up with a new party type card GAME for up to 12. We will go there 3/29 to try it out. Larry is also interested in TV games. Felicia thinks that "X" might sometimes want to do something with TV and that I shouldn't tie myself up. (Fay wants a long term exclusive contract.) There was a short but encouraging letter from "X."

The contract for SIT DOWN AND THINK came. It is for 4% without a cut off. They also sent two checks for $125, one for me and 1 for I/S. This is a closing fee, not an advance on royalties.

Called Alice to tell her about the 3M contract. She was pleased. She is against TV games after her bad experience with a producer. They were actually taping when he ran out of money.

The game she sent to "X" was Connor Barrett's split-letter GAME. She asked Arnold Shapiro if they would con- sider having two completely different word games and he said "of course." BB and I will go to their house next Thursday to try her new game with Ruth there too.

Claude called. Meeting tomorrow will be in Fay's mother's apt. Called Fay to tell her I got the message. She loves my TREASURE HUNT game!

Claude mentioned a book, paper back, which I might find interesting:- 2 PERSON GAME THEORY [crossed out] by Anatole Rappaport (Publ. by Anne Arbor books)

Rcd. a FOCUS order.

Rcd. a letter from aco Games (FACULTY CARDS) asking me to submit games particularly in the educational field. // cont. on 3/15
