WEDNESDAY 19 APRIL 1967
Patriots' Day (Me., Mass)
109th day - 256 days to come

Felicia called. Would like BB and me to come to their place
4/25 to play WHAT'S HAPPENING with Larry & Pearl. I
suggested PAYOFF and she said sure. Will go right from
work but they'll have snacks, not supper.
Macy's has a fancy display of games & puzzles for eggheads.
Nothing new she says. Ca
Called Bob Abel. The inventor of REAL ACTION BASEBALL
Bill Hart Jr., will be [ILLEGIBLE CROSS OUT] in town May 1st and Bob
will contact me about getting together. I told him
about 3M and SIT DOWN AND THINK. Talked for quite a while.
He'll call me next Wednesday or Thursday about for a
report on the Toy Fair. It is a standoff so far with
the TRUE article. They want him to rewrite it and
he doesn't want to.

Claude called. Told him I'd probably go there Friday. Arthur
had visited him. Arthur and Wald have started a company,
"The Grear Game and Symbol Company." They silk screen boards
for THREE and have sold several dozen to Y's and similar
organizations at $3.50 each. Arthur also intimated that he and
I had had a tiff; didn't elaborate.

Looking at the setup of cards for 4-hand PAYOFF. It doesn't
seem to be too good.
