====== D. Ness ======


===== Recruitment =====

[[Eric]] ---> D. Ness in 1998. 

Source: e-mail from D. Ness.

I roomed with [[Eric]] and [[Alf]] back in 1981 or so. At that 
time I thought I wasn't interested in the NPL (what a fool I was!), 
but they did get me involved in Scrabble(tm). [[Eric]] was the Boston 
Scrabble club champion, and my two other roommates were highly ranked.

Sometime around 1994, Eric and I reestablished contact. It was either 
because he was interested in our company's product (the company, Dragon 
Systems, makes speech recognition software), or because I had read an 
article about him in the Boston Sunday Globe. Anyway, he subsequently 
recruited me for his MIT Mystery Hunt Team, and later convinced me to 
attend the [[misc:acpt1998|Stamford tournament]]. To add fuel to the fire 
there, both [[Treesong]] and [[etc|etc.]] said I should [[:join|join]].
