Seth Geltman notes:
(Seth's letter, reprinted with his permission:)
March 21, 2014
Dear Will,
My father, an inveterate solver from the Maleska era through last week, passed away on Monday. Myself, I've been solving for last eight or nine years.
For many years, we'd communicated in that pleasant but slightly stiff style of conversation employed, I imagine, by many fathers and sons.
But once I became as accomplished a solver as he was, things changed. Our exchanges about puzzles became our own secret language. Even non-puzzle conversations sometimes took on the best qualities of the solving experience — oblique, compelling, full of understated humor and unexpected harmonies.
He was intellectually vibrant up to the final week of his 86-year-long life. The habits of curiosity, resourcefulness, and persistence practiced over decades of puzzling were key to his lasting vitality.
Thank you for enriching my father's life, and for providing this connection between us. I can't imagine we could have reached it in any other way.
All my best,
Seth Geltman
