THURSDAY 15 MAY Ascension Day 1969 135th day - 230 days to come
Returned the rules for COMBAT PATROL & INTRIGUE to Felicia on the way to work.
Called Atwater in Concord. Not in. Left word for him to call me tomorrow.
Felicia called. Letter from Arnold Shapiro. They are sending out requests for renewal of the contracts that are now 2 years old. More discussion about the record form. She'll show me what she'd like to have when we get together. She hinted that there are a lot of companies moving into games. She heard from another source that Renwal is moving into games, but doesn't intend to submit any for the present.
Met the writer from PACE magazine (Henry Pelham Burn) and took him home for supper. He said that ACQUIRE was a game that he really enjoyed and, apparantly, didn't know that it was mine. Took pictures of me working on a layout for CLOSED CIRCUIT. When he asked me about a really long game I told him about POWER. He was interested in it, the HIGH DECK, and the Amberstones. He said that the article on space would be done by someone else and would include games only incidentally. He would like to do an article on NYGA soon. Someone else interviewed Frank Thibault.
Phil Orbanes called. He was going to call Ceyce and have him call me, if he was in. Didn't get the call.
Gave Burn a FOCUS booklet and told him I'd have 3M send him my games. The article will be in the August edition and he'll send me two copies.
(cont. from 5/17) [5/17]
