Rcd. a letter from <u>Frank Thibault</u>. Sent me the rules
for <u>SQUIGGLE</u>.
He thinks <u>TROMINO GO</u> is a good game, but is afraid
that no company will look at this type of game
anymore. He has one called <u>CONTIGO</u> which 10 com-
panies have rejected, with complimentary letters.
He asked for <u>TOTEM</u> back from 3M because they can't
do anything with it for a couple of years, although they
seem to like it as much as <u>PLOY</u>.
"Samsonite" so far likes <u>CONTIGO</u>.
Jerry's <u>PLUG-A-JUG</u> is doing very well. He just sold
<u>COMMODITY</u> to "Samsonite."
Called <u>Felicia</u> (just as she was about to call me). She
wanted the info on <u>Ginni Scott</u> in <u>''T & N''</u>, since she
threw that part of the page away after cutting out
the picture of the Gamette packaging.
She had no further info about my demonstrating
at "Brentanos," so I'll go ahead with plans for my opera-
tion.
We tried to come up with a better name for
<u>FITTING & PROPER</u> with no success. We'll both think
about it and speak again on Sunday. I said I'd
bring it to her Monday about 3. She'll get it
right out to X. I again said that I didn't want
to offend <u>Bill Caruson</u>. She said that he hadn't been
that interested;  willing to see but not particularly
enthousiastic.
<u>Steve Barkoczy</u> wrote a long analysis of <u>FITTING AND PROPER</u>.
Felicia didn't want to read it, but she told him she is
sure I'd want to. Will either have him mail it to me or bring
it over some time when I am there.
Wrote to <u>Haar Hoolim</u>.
Called <u>Herb Siegel</u> (the antique game collector)
[address] Wyncote, Penna. 19095, 215-TU6-9486
We will visit them on Oct. 11 and 12. Herb will send
me a map to locate his house.
