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