SUNDAY NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD
FAN CLUB
Joe Deeney, of Melrose, Mass., is a supply-chain director for Philips, a health-technology company based in Amsterdam. He’s been solving crosswords for as long as he can remember. In 2015, he was solving one he wasn’t particularly fond of and thought, I can do better than that! This is Joe’s 14th Times crossword and his first Sunday. He has now reached a personal goal — having a puzzle published on every day of the week. — W.S.
