5 Friday - January 1973
5th Day - 360 Days to Come
Odette Willis called. Sick and couldn't make it today. I called
Felicia and change the date to Tuesday at 2. Called Odette
to tell her.
While on the phone Felicia asked my opinion of what she should
do about BALI. S&R [Selchow & Righter] hasn't fulfilled any of their promises to
publicize it. I said that there really isn't any good place for
BALI to go right now. Once Hallmark starts it should be the
natural spot. Felicia agreed that she'd just have to wait.
Sandra Garson called. She was payed during the summer by American Airlines
for her piece on games. They were supposed to send copies
to her and to me. She hasn't heard from them either, and will
contact them.
She saw an ad for AMERICAN EXPRESS MONEY CARD GAME in their
magazine. It is a "special" for $11.00.
She had been investigating the possibility of putting out her
game WORLD TRAVEL (see 6/8/72) but found that it would be too
expensive and too time consuming. Now she is interested in finding
a manufacturer for it. She has been in touch with Urban Systems
and Games Research (I told her of Bob Abbott's experience with
WHAT'S THAT ON MY HEAD?) She spoke to Bob Gellman when R.G.I.
was still in being and found him very pleasant. She asked about
Felicia as an agent, but decided that she didn't want to give
up 35% of the royalties.
She'd like me to play her game (she knows that I did HOLIDAY).
She invited me and BB to come up some evening. I'll call her to
set up a date.
She gave me some info to pass on to Earl Perel on being a social
director on a cruise ship.
Looked over the material I have on SCOTLAND YARD. Don't have exactly how it was last played, but I'm sure I won't have any trouble reconstructing it.
Gave Marylin a Bekins Box when she asked about buying one.
