====== Buttorkup ====== ===== Recruitment ===== I was recruited by [[kaprykorn|Kapry Korn]], my former sister-in-law, way back in the 1950's. For many years I was active as long as I had [[kaprykorn|Kapry Korn]] to work with. At the time, we were in California. Eventually moved back to Massachusetts, divorced and lost touch with [[kaprykorn|KK]]. However, continued to sol with puzzlers , particularly [[Maniac]] and even managed to attend a convention that was held in Boston in the early '60's. Over the years, I raised 4 children, had no time for the Enigma, but hoped one day I could resume my participation. [[kaprykorn|Kapry Korn]] contacted me after many years, here in Gainesville, Fl. where I have been living for 25 years. Can you imagine after all these years, [[kaprykorn|KK]] has continued to be active, convinced me that I should take pen in hand and get with the program. Well, it has been 4 years of activity again, but I miss working with [[kaprykorn|Kapry Korn]]. I really do not enjoy winging it on my own, it is not as much fun. But I work at it when I can. Being a house mom at a fraternity here at UF keeps me busier than when I raised 4 children. //First Issue//: May 1955 ===== Recruits ===== None. ===== Nom ===== Way back then, I smoked and drank coffee, hence the nom.
