Bill and Paul decided to start a book club in October of 1998. They invited fellow tech member Lou, South Pas connections Stanley and Bob (now a canyon dweller), John S, and Dave M. John H. joined the club at our third meeting when a second Dave from Antelope Valley never materialized. David J ended up replacing Lou from Encino in May 2003.
The group has stayed in tact ever since. We have meet nearly every month, usually on the second Tuesday, for the next 18 years. The individual that selects the book also gets to host the group for the next meeting. The books are usually relatively short in nature so everyone has time to finish before the next meeting.
Over the years the book selection has expanded to a wide range of subjects that reflect our interests and taste. The books have helped to expand our knowledge and provided entertainment. The monthly gathering has been something to look forward to. Although the intent of the gathering may be to discuss the subject book, no one knows where the discussion will go.
Even though I have moved to San Diego over a year ago, I still make my monthly trek to the San Gabriel Valley for our special gatherings.
