[Palindrome] We have a leader!

[Eric Albert <Eric Albert alumni brown edu>]

Al DeSuda (also known as Tom Weisswange to those who are not in the 
National Puzzlers' League (see www.puzzlers.org)) has graciously and 
bravely volunteered to be our team's leader for the upcoming 2005 MIT 
Mystery Hunt!

I'm delighted.  Not only will I get to take a break after 20+ years of 
team coordination, but Al will be a great leader.  As team oldcomers know, 
he's been a part of this team for years, and is already a team co-leader 
in those years when we run the Hunt.

Furthermore, he's created and run, with others and on his own, a sizeable 
number of other Mystery-Hunt like games.  He's intimately familiar with 
the wide range of things that the Hunt Masters could throw at us.

Finally, as someone who's spent scores of hours with him, doing difficult 
puzzles on little sleep, I can vouch for his impressive ability, under the 
most stressful of situations, to keep his wits *and* his sense of humor.  
A good leader, a good companion, and a good guy.
