====== Coach ====== ===== Recruitment ===== My tree will never be tracked. I was descended upon by a pack of Krewe after the last (1986?) US Open in NYC at which I placed third. Post-tournament chat and coercion and promises of picnics led me to join. If I had to pick a single member as the one who brought me in, I would guess it was [[Hudu]], though I recall meeting [[Manx]] and [[Sluggo]] and [[Arachne]] (and of course [[Willz]]) that day, and probably others . . . . And now that I'm thinking about it, that day I would have also met [[En]], and [[Famulus]], and probably [[jotheloi|Jo the Loiterer]], and whatever their noms were then, [[helene|Helene Hovanec]] and perhaps [[317537|Leslie Billig]], and, and, and, . . . . //Later (emailed from 1997 convention)//: On reflection, decided to credit [[Hudu]] directly with my Kreweness and have so altered the tree. It'll find you eventually. I think I may get credit for Tom Lundregan (if he joins; stay tuned). He's an Atlantic Word Games person, and contact with him through that brought him to last night's doings. But he already knew about NPL before our exchanges, so I don't know if I'm an eligible "branch." //First Issue//: Jul 1986 ===== Recruits ===== None. ===== Nom ===== No data. ==== Combinoms ==== No data. ===== Offices ===== No data.
