I joined the NPL in the early '70s with a very forgettable nom, and was active as both a composer and solver and Princeton
convention attendee. I found the NPL through a library search,  but it's been too long for me to remember which reference book contained the NPL. I do remember that it was a large,  multi-volume reference of some sort. [From a later email:] I have now relearned the identity of the library reference in  which I first found the League back at the beginning of the '70s: "Encyclopedia of Associations" by Gale.
 
I brought in another member, [[Coleus]], who participated as a solver for quite a number of months before dropping out. A year or so after that, my day-to-day interests had changed enough that I dropped out too. I rejoined in the '90s shortly after I started constructing crosswords for the NYT et al., because of the substantial number of crossword constructors who are also NPLers. Now I'm a [[misc:acpt1998|Stamford]] ACPT regular, where I'm both a judge and constructor of one of the tournament puzzles. Much fun.
