is cheap and looks interesting), and <u>PINK PEBBLES</u>.
Call from <u>Bob Gellman</u>. The one game they'd like done by Toy Fair
is <u>PATTON</u> since they have the art work. I asked if the deal
with Athol was signed yet. No. Now it is set for next week. I
said that I couldn't spend time until I knew it was definite since
I had too many other projects. He'll call me next week to let me
know the progress. I said that I'd do a little reading on Patton's life
prior to this to see if I felt I could come up with something. The
4 battles they mention in the copy are "Kasserine," "Cicily," "France,"
and "The Bulge." Actually these are campaigns. He called
Simulations before checking with me since he thought they might
have a game on the shelf.
Rcd. [received] the <u>BLOCK 'N SCORE</u> glossy (which unfortunately I don't
need since I already reviewed the game. Also included was
the <u>OCCASIONAL NEWSLETTER ABOUT SIMULATIONS AND GAMES</u> - (#15,
and last issue since it is being absorbed into the periodical
<u>SIMULATION/GAMING/NEWS</u>). The "Gambler's Bookclub" is mentioned
(see 12/23/72).
<br>Rcd. the estimated tax form from Leonard Willett. Then realized that
I hadn't included bank interest. Called him and I'll send $1200 instead.
Found I had the forms I rcd. last year.
Wrote to the <u>ACQUIRE</u> fan (see 1/6) and sent another copy
with a note to <u>Carol Peterson</u>.
