The Michael S. Maurer Crossword Puzzle

Apropos of not much at all, I noticed when printing my New York Times crossword puzzle this morning that its constructor was the same Michael S. Maurer who is the named benefactor of Bill Henderson's school.

I knew Mickey Maurer when I was in Indianapolis and he ran the Indiana Economic Development office.  Stand up guy.  He told me that he wasn't very good at doing crosswords, even though he was a regular contributor to the New York Times.

N.B.:  Will Shortz is also an Indiana U. grad.  I don't know if that's a coincidence.
