THURSDAY 6 APRIL 1967 96th day - 269 days to come

Fay called. The Monocan counsel is thrilled with TREASURE HUNT and wants to bring it back with him. I told her I'd prepare a large map to go with it. She didn't even mention her standing me up last night. She is not satisfied with the summaries Claude sent her and wants me to talk to him. I told her to. She is going to see Claude Shannon tomorrow and wants to be able to talk to him about a lot of ideas. She expects him to be creative, rather than a programmer. She also met a- nother very creative person from [crossed out] Bell Labs. (Where does all this leave Claude & me?)

In evening spoke to Claude about it.

Bob Abbott sent me a letter and a mimeographed report of the University of Sussex Mathematical Societies weekend of Robert Abbot games. ELEUSIS was the big success. (Filed in Bob Abbott correspondence folder.)

Fay called and spoke a long time about the direction of our relationship. We are still her primary suppliers of games. No one else will be involved with TREASURE HUNT. But she wants other ideas for TOURNAMENT. It will be up to us to discuss splitting our 50% between us. Will discuss it further when she gets back from Boston, next Tuesday. She said that she didn't realize we had a date yesterday - that I just intended to drop the material off.

At lunch time looked at Klein's toy department. Nothing.

Fay called. The Monocan counsel is thrilled with
TREASURE HUNT and wants to bring it back with him. I told
her I'd prepare a large map to go with it. She didn't even
mention her standing me up last night.
She is not satisfied with the summaries Claude sent her
and wants me to talk to him. I told her to. She is going
to see Claude Shannon tomorrow and wants to be able to
talk to him about a lot of ideas. She expects him to
be creative, rather than a programmer. She also met a-
nother very creative person from [crossed out] Bell Labs. (Where
does all this leave Claude & me?)
In evening spoke to Claude about it.
Bob Abbott sent me a letter and a mimeographed report
of the University of Sussex Mathematical Societies
weekend of Robert Abbot games. ELEUSIS was the big
success. (Filed in Bob Abbott correspondence folder.)
