25 Thursday - January 1973
Conversion of St. Paul 25th Day - 340 Days to Come

Call from Frank Thibault. He apologized for not writing and thanked me for my X'Mas [Christmas] card/letter. He thanked BB for her hospitality. he has sent me a copy of CONTIGO. It is one he sent to Crisloid and finally they returned it to him, after a long time. It has an 8x8 field. 3M is going to go it and they have cut it to a 6x6 field - he thinks it plays better that way. They were supposed to put it out this year, but didn't make. Now it scheduled for 1974. They are also considering a 3-D tubular puzzle by him.
Frank just spoke to Bill Caruson by phone. Bill said that 3M had done somewhat better in '72 than '71. The 4th quarter was particularly good.
PLOY, however, did not do too well. They are considering repackaging it and Frank asked my opinion. I suggested giving some impression of a CHESS game with the moves indicated by the pcs. [pieces] themselves, without actually saying this.
