===== Recruitment  =====

I first heard about the NPL when I was in middle school, I believe. I saw an
article about it in one of the back issues of GAMES (the school library
happened to have a subscription and I loved it). However, it was years before
I finally joined. It took some prodding by people I met at the Mohonk Words
Weekend who were already members -- [[WILLz]], [[IRBS]], [[nonsequitur|Non Sequitur]], etc.

===== Nom =====

After I decided to join the NPL, I figured I had to decide on a nom before
sending in my money. I went through a few choices from Greek mythology (one
of my favorite non-math or puzzle subjects) but nothing really came to mind
as appropriate. Finally, I thought "Maybe I should call myself QED (after the
abbreviation seen at the end of a lot of mathematical proofs) since I am a
math major." I wasn't coming up with any better ideas so I decided to go with
it. As an afterthought, I figured it would be great to be able to end letters
with it as well.
