During the late 1970's the New York Times was on strike,
and I was desolate without the Sunday puzzles. In an airplane
magazine rack I chanced upon Atlantic Monthly and Harper's,
where I discovered the most unusual puzzles I had ever seen. By
the end of the flight, I began to catch a glimmer of how to
solve, but much still eluded me. When I returned home, I
consulted the local librarian, who referred me to
[[helene|Helene Hovanec]] who at that time
lived nearby and whose book __The Puzzler's Paradise__, had
just been published. [[Helene]]
introduced me to NPL, which I joined in January 1979. 

In the early years, I had a flat published in nearly every
issue, and I submitted solutions lists consistently until
about a year ago when my own work (toy consultant and
syndicated toy and game reviewer) took over more and more of
my life. But I still eagerly look forward to Enigma and
marvel at how the brilliance of both the puzzles and solvers
has increased over the years.
