===== Recruitment =====

[[Caspian]] got introduced through the sample Enigma on the web; I very much enjoyed the sample
variety cryptic, but the flats didn't appeal to me, so I didn't sign up. [[Caspian]] had been the
cryptic crossword editor at the Puzzle Depot web site, and I had recently become his co-writer; 
he was very enthusiastic about trying to get us published, and thought this might be a good way to 
broaden our contacts. So I followed in his footsteps and signed up one month after he did. 
Unfortunately, for reasons [[Caspian]]'s never felt the need to explain to me, he seemed to burn 
out on puzzles shortly after that; he doesn't seem to be into either solving or constructing any 
more. He did not renew his membership. I still don't much care for flats, but I like the cryptics. More
importantly, [[Panache]] had a "mini-con" at his house shortly after I joined, and I greatly enjoyed it. 
I have since attended several of these, and although the crowd is not all NPL, I owe my participation to
[[:join|joining the NPL]], so I'm forever grateful to [[Caspian]].

===== Recruits =====

None.

===== Nom =====

My other main hobby is bowling (kegling). [. . .] I chose the name Kegler when [[Caspian]] started
giving me half-credit for the puzzles; they appeared as "by [[Caspian]] and Kegler" before either
of us joined the NPL.
