====== Monster ======

===== Recruitment =====

I first heard about the NPL from //The Four-Star Puzzler// in the early '80s. One issue had an article about 
letter rebuses (by [[Treesong]], I think). I thought they were neat, but was not too much interested in the verse
puzzles. Every so often over the years, I came across the NPL in //Games// Magazine, Crossworders Own Newsletter 
(aka Tough Puzzles) and other puzzle mags. It was only when the NPL put up a web site and I found out that //The 
Enigma// had a cryptic crossword that I decided to give it a try. 

===== Recruits =====

None.


===== Nom =====

There is nothing fancy about my nom, it is a simple transposal of Enstrom. I had thought about using something
more esoteric, but I had the feeling that anything I came up  with would eventually seem to be too cutesy, so 
I stuck with the transposal. (By the way, when I first met [[hammerlock|Merl Reagle]] at a [[misc:acpt1998|Stamford tournament]] in 1984 or 85, the first thing he said to me was "Enstrom, that anagrams into Monster").
