Members

The No Name Book Club is made up of eight men between 62 and 80. When we started 18 years ago we were all working professionals consisting of a medical doctor (Dave), lawyer (Bob), psychologist (David), head master (John H), college science professor (Stanley), entrepreneur (Bill), business consultant (Paul), and accountant (John S). We are now mostly retired but actively involved in many pursuits. Member hobbies include wood working, golf, traveling, surfing, bird watching, gardening, spending time with kids and grand kids, and reading. The group includes highly successful individuals that are experts in their field, not to mention their accomplished children.
Politically we are all over the board from fiscal conservatives (Paul and Bill) to progressives (Bob, Stanley and David). Dave, John H, and John S are somewhere in between. Each of us have our own causes and passions. Stanley is a strong supporter of public education, science, and local politics. John H is an expert on primary and secondary education. John S is deeply concerned with the environment. Bob is an advocate for the under-served working class. Paul and Bill believe in the power of innovation and technology. Dave and David continue to be passionate concerning the fields of medicine and mental health.
As a group we are able to discuss issues openly from different points of view with respect to each other's feelings. It has proven to be a great way to get a different perspective on issues. Lastly they are all nice guys that you enjoy hanging out with.
