Here's the photo of Joan and Liane Hansen.

This was taken at NPR headquarters in Washington DC just after Joan's
"on-air" puzzle with Will Shortz. (Will Shortz was in New York -- we just
heard his voice on a speaker). I got to watch and play along from the
control room and got to meet some very nice behind-the-scenes NPR people.

Afterwards, Liane Hansen gave us a brief tour of the NPR facilities and
introduced us to everyone we passed in the hallways. Most importantly,
Joan and I each got our own Weekend Edition Lapel pin. It was a very nice
experience and it was so nice that we just happened to be in DC for it.
Normally the on-air puzzle is done over the phone.
