Dear Dr, Allen ;

I've just returned from a trip into Iowa and a
stom in Iowa City where I paid the storage on the Phog Alien
Basket Ball Games to Octoher 31 of this year. Although I have
travelled half way around the world and back and then some
since we entered into this business, I have taken care of the
storage hoping that some day something could be developed out
of the idea.

Now, the storage people are pressing me to
move the games because they need the space f@ merchandise
paying a higher ratee

Do you have any ideas relative to what might
be done with the games and the idea behind them. I still be- .
lieve there is a marketable idea with some real profit possibil-
ities but I just donét have time to go into it.

While the storage has been dry and satisfactory
in every way, I am afbaid that after nearly nine years, these
games will not be very presentable. The rules, applying to
these games, are not those of modern basket ball. To make them
saleable they would heve to be completely revamped. As for the
present games, I can think of nothing else but perhaps to
give them to the U.S.0.where they should find some interested
players in some of the army camps. It might be a good news sto
for you, too.

Please let me have your ideas. We are going to
huve to do something with them and Fisher is nowhere to be founde

I'd like very much to have a chance to talk
with youe It seems that nothing happens to bring me to Kansase

With best wishes, I am

Yours very truly,

atin A fob
