====== George Groth ======
===== Recruitment =====
I frankly do not recall how I heard of the NPL. I joined in November 1979. Around that time I did read
//The People's Almanac// cover to cover (I never made it through //The People's Almanac 2//). I also read
[[eluqsor|Borgmann]]'s //Language on Vacation// about that time.
However I vividly recall reading an fine article in the January 1979 issue of //Games//, by [[Willz]], about
the [[cons:1978:photos|1978 convention]]. In the November 1979 issue [[Willz]] simply presented some of
the games from the [[cons:1979:photos|1979 convention]]. No doubt that, and //The Almanac// and
[[eluqsor|Borgmann]], got me thinking I was missing something. So back to the January issue, which
had [[Mangie]]'s address . . .
//First Issue//: Oct 1979((according to the directory))
===== Recruits =====
None.
===== Nom =====
My nom is in fact a real pseudonym! It has been used off and on by Martin
Gardner over the last 60 years. Martin gave me permission to use it, and
I use it in honor of him. [. . .]
Martin has published poems, book reviews, articles, and the occasional letter
to "Ask Marilyn" as George Groth, but no books.
Source: email from [[Geneac]], quoting George Groth.
