cheerful whenever he talks about <u>ACQUIRE</u>. <br> | |||
<u>Jim Kraus</u> has been moved out of the game program. Bill Caruson <br> | |||
has a lot of other things to work on so <u>Keith Tuggle</u> is pretty much <br> | |||
in charge of the game program. Keith will be at the Toy Fair. <br> | |||
They are looking for one <u>GAME</u> for the Bookshelf line in 1974. Felicia <br> | |||
said I should come up with something and I said <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>. <br> | |||
She is afraid that 3M has too many trading games. <br> | |||
One of the reasons she called Bill was to ask about <u>HIGH BID</u>. It is <br> | |||
now officially only in the Gamette line. <br> | |||
She sent <u>Bob Johnson</u> a letter saying that she will be <s>expecting</s> sending <br> | |||
him <u>DISPERSAL</u> early next week. <br> | |||
S & R notified her that they made a mistake and sent her $600 <br> | |||
too much for the 4th quarter of <u>BALI</u>. <br> | |||
She thinks that <u>Bob Gellman</u> is a great salesman, but <br> | |||
somewhat of a phoney. She says I should ask for an advance <br> | |||
before I work on <u>PATTON</u>. | |||
Call from <u>Claude</u>. He told me about an ad in ''<u>TOYS</u>'' Magazine (which <br> | |||
I had seen) by M.B. for someone to work on game product design. <br> | |||
He thought that it might be a good job for me. Possibly, but <br> | |||
I'm not ready yet to take a job. <br> | |||
I told him about the letter from James J. Faulkner today. <br> | |||
Spoke about my notes on his game <u>CROOKED BRIDGE</u>. He'll call me <br> | |||
some time so I can read them to him. (Both too tired today.) <br> | |||
Told him about Hallmark being so interested in 2-hand strategy <br> | |||
games. And that I had <u>DISPERSAL</u> completely worked out. <br> | |||
Started working on the <u>DISPERSAL</u> board. | |||

(cont. from 2/1) [2/10] | |||
weekly column called "The Sunday Game." I said that I could do <br> | |||
most of it myself, if the price is right. George, of course, will <br> | |||
contribute. He is also working on some word puzzles. | |||
