====== Newrow ======
I found An Almanac of Words at Play by Willard Espy and was hooked; it led me to subscribe to Word Ways.
When I wrote to the editor, Ross Eckler, that the symbol for the Super Bowl should be a Superb Owl, he replied that they already knew that in the NPL -- leading me to join.

===== Recruitment =====




//First Issue//: Jan 1981

===== Recruits =====
Epilog -- a colleague at work //
Jerg -- an old friend back to Columbia College days (Class of '59); he professes chemistry at Syracuse
                                 

===== Nom =====

Newrow is a homonym of "neuro", and I am a neurologist; seemed like a good word for a composer of puzzles; 6 letters like my family name, Wolpow, ending in the same 2 letters.

==== Combinoms ====

I've written flats with Jerg, Mangie, Ajax, Merlin, and probably others, but I resist combinoms, usually preferring Dog + Cat, rather than Dcoagt.

===== Offices =====
