Laura Taylor Kinnel, of Newtown, Pa., teaches math and is the director of studies at a Friends boarding school near Philadelphia. This is her sixth crossword for The Times, most of them Sundays. Laura’s son and his fiancŽe asked her to construct a crossword for their outdoor wedding reception last June. The result was printed on a large foam board, and guests worked on it with dry erase markers. The completed puzzle now hangs in the newlyweds’ living room. — W.S.
