I've written a short bio of Melvin Wellman to which I can add further information as it becomes available.

I have now received from Will Shortz a copy of Melvin's original 1948 contribution to The Enigma and added it to my biography. I was surprised to discover how closely Martin Gardner copied it. I have also been in touch with one of Melvin's grandsons who provided me with additional biographical information and a couple of photographs. Thank you all. _______________________________________________ math-fun mailing list math-fun@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-fun
