TUESDAY 10 OCTOBER 1967
283rd day - 82 days to come
I called Bill Bentzin. Got the story about the call frpm McCall's. Some woman
who said she was from McCall's and asked for my number. Bill's
secretary answered and gave her my number, but Bill thinks she
may have transposed two numbers (since she doodled it wrong). Bill
checked out The secretary did not take the name of the caller.
Bill called his contacts at McCall's but couldn't find anyone who
knows anything about it.
He'll call me next week about getting together next week.
Reproduced the Parker rejection letter for PAYOFF & returned it
to I/S. Also the list of games to X. Felicia thought of another
game presently being considered by X - IMAGE.
Alice and I went to Lowe's office @ 200 5th Ave. Met with Bernie
Alfer. Showed him LOA. He said he saw the same game twice. Ned
Strongin has one called JOIN UP and someone else also showed
him one. Doesn't want to touch it. Showed him FACTOR,
AIRLINE, GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY, MAVERICK COUNTRY, VOILA,
EGGHEAD POKER. We brought along SUCCESSION, but Mike Abrams had
brought it there already. Alfer said that he had 10 new games for
next year's toy fair and none of these thrilled him. Said to
bring back LOA, FACTOR (which should be simplified - he said), and
GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY in April. When I spoke to him about
AIRLINE he said to bring that also.
Back to I/S with Alice. The three of us decided that this wasn't the time
to submit games to companies & we'll wait with Selchow &
Righter and Cadaco till after toy fair.
Alice will write to Parker asking about PAYOFF and will
mention that I'd like to visit them with 6 or 7 games
this fall.
Called Anne about LOA and Ned Strongen. Claude called me
later and wasn't as concerned as I was.
