FAREWELL TO
CRYPTOQUIZ…
The North Shore Towers Courier is
sad to announce that Cryptoquiz
will no longer be part of the Puzzles
page as of January, 2020. Rumors have
been swirling for months that Crypto was
planning to retire and relocate to Florida.
These reports have not been confirmed
and at press time, phone calls to his reps
have not been answered.
In any case, we wish Crypto well in his
future endeavors and hope our readers continue
to enjoy the Crossword and Sudoku
puzzles each month. Happy solving! ~
