None.

===== Nom =====

Here's my nom story: My father, [[algebra|Al Gebra]], has been an //Enigma// member for 
many years. When my brother and I were young teenagers, he would occasionally share something 
with us from one of the issues, or challenge us to solve an easy puzzle. I found it all mildly
interesting, and, since I had some ability at writing simple verses, I wrote a puzzle or two.  
When I sent the first of these in, I selected the nom "Earl E. Byrd", reflecting my then tender 
years. Some thirty or more years later -- about two years ago -- [[algebra|Al Gebra]] gave 
//Enigma// gift subscriptions to both me and my brother, Bill Hooke. When I began writing 
puzzles, I just reverted to my old nom. I suggested to Bill that, since he had not written any 
early puzzles, he might want to adopt the nom "Wormless". So far though, he has been too busy to 
either write puzzles or select a nom of his own choosing!
