Alternate name for this constructor:
I. Kert

Isaac "Ike" Kert was born in Montreal in the early 1890s. He attended McGill University, obtaining an undergraduate degree in 1912 and law degree in 1915. His legal practice focused on transactional work. In 1919, he married Sara Gittleson. They had one daughter, Doris. In addition to constructing crosswords, he was an avid basketball player — playing regularly into his 60s — and an active fisherman.

He passed away in 1963 at age 73. In addition to the Times, his puzzles appeared in the New York Herald Tribune and other publications, according to his obituary.
