About Derek Crozier
Derek Crozier was very unique in the world of crossword compilers, in that he alone was the man behind The Irish Times Crosaire crossword for over 60 years. With such a long and distinguished pedigree, Mr. Crozier produced perhaps the last of the “old-style” cryptic crosswords published in the mainstream media.

Crosswords ... and my Dad
I worked on my first crossword puzzle when I was about 6-years-old, sitting on my Dad's knee. He let me "help" him with his puzzle almost everyday as I was growing up. Over the years, Dad passed on to me his addiction to crosswords. Now in my early 50s, I work on my Crosaire and New York Times puzzles every day. I'm no longer sitting on my Dad's knee, but I feel that he is there with me, looking over my shoulder.
This blog is dedicated to my Dad, who passed away in January 2009, and to the great Derek Crozier who passed away in April 2010.
