Jeff, do you know Al Sanders? Just watched the crossword puzzle
documentary, I was rooting for Al the whole time! Say hi to him if ya
know him.

What a shame--he shoulda been Champ...

No eye-deer...

Are you saying he could have been a CONTENDER? (9 letters across,
competitor)

Don't know him?

The documentary was Word Play, and Al Sanders is a perennial top 3
finisher, who lives in Ft. Collins and is a project manager at HP.
Figured someone of that celebrity status might be known by the myriad
employees of HP/Ft. Collins. He doesn't look like a dirt bike type
though.

In the film he managed to finish almost 5 minutes ahead of the other 2
finalists (an unheard-of margin); unfortunately he had left 2 spaces
blank inadvertently (he well knew the words) and in his haste said
DONE and then suddenly realized his mistake. Kind of like missing the
final check in an enduro, even though you've zero'd every single one
in the race.

I could feel his pain...
