Bruce Crabtree
E-mail: brucec@arkansas.net
Bruce was educated as a scientist and received an officer's commission at
graduation. He served on active duty in the Far East and continental US, and
later ventured to New York City to pursue an operatic career - which he supported
by being a caseworker as his 'day-job.'
After twelve years, Bruce realized he would never join the ranks of the world's
great singers, and decided to go into hi-tech industry (nuclear power plant
construction engineering, telecommunications tower engineering, aerospace).
He began writing in 1987 and has authored four novels, a collection of short-stories,
three screenplays, and a one-act play (performed by the Eureka Theater Company).
His Sci-Fi novel (Cuneiform) appears in serialized form in the 'Files' section
of 'Yahoo e-group arkmensa.'
Bruce's recent public service efforts include: Board member - Eureka
Theater Co.; Member - Ozarks Chorale; Co-chair of Arts and Culture Committee
- Eureka Springs ACE Program; and Member of the Carroll County Special Operations
Rescue Team.
Hobbies: astronomy, ancient history, old cars.

Leonard Nijssen
Hi, my name is Leonard Nijssen and I live in Mena Arkansas with my 2 cats. I was born and raised in Amsterdam, Netherlands, obtained my first Optometry degree in the Netherlands at age 20, moved to New Zealand where I got my New Zealand Optometry degree and, at the same time obtained a B.S. in Psychology. In California I obtained additional certification in hearing. In London I obtained my English Optometry degree and a sub degree in dealing with low vision patients. Spent several years as superintendent of Prison Industries in California where I taught optical manufacturing to inmates and worked with congress designing programs. For the past 20 years I have been quite involved with computers and, for the past 10 years have made this a full time business.
I also am somewhat of a writer and hold about 18 or 20 copyrights, mainly on a variety of technical papers but also in the metaphysical field. I am divorced.
Interests: My interests are very strongly on increased awareness,
have studied metaphysics for around 35 years, practice and teach dynamic meditation,
enjoy reading (metaphysical, western, science fiction and more), music, travel,
camping, fishing and more. I enjoy dogs, cats and horses, was with the mounted

Norfork
Eleanor A. Bast
Usually called Ellie - I feel a bit isolated here in the Super-Boonies, but it's too pretty to leave, so there we are. Would like to get together with some other Mensans when the weather cools off and my currently broken arm is out of its cast -- we'll see, come fall. My other passion is quilting.

Piney Bay
Van Alan Hill
I am currently a 39 year old Realtor/Land Specialist working in Clarksville although my "wildlife farm" & home adjoins Piney Bay in rural Lamar. I am married with one child and enjoy nature & the outdoors. I am into forestry, wildlife habitat improvement, & hiking in remote wilderness areas.
I am a Rotarian, Chamber of Commerce board member, and the ACE Housing Committee Chairman.
I have lived in both Arkansas and Texas and have been what I refer to as a vocational chameleon. I have been a grocery sacker, residential insulation contractor, apartment leaser, butcher, European gypsy, an FBI employee, deli clerk, and a metallurgy station operator at a steel mill(among other things & not necessarily in that order). In the words of my 94 year old grandmother, I am "a jack of all trades, but the master of none."
I am impatient, easily bored, and intolerant of the lazy and stupid, but I'm trying to do better. Aside from that I'm a really nice guy. I promise!
Favorite Movie: Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarentino
Favorite Song: Mr. Jones by Counting Crows
Favorite Color: Gray
Graduate of Univ of Texas @ Arlington, BBA/Finance, 1988
Delta Tau Delta Fraternity / Vice President , Social Chairman
Russelleville
Doug Breckinshire
Consistently trapped in a 1980's Corey Feldman/Haim movie, Doug makes bad choices, caves in to peer pressure, but learns personal responsibility and finds love every two hours. It's a Groundhog Day-ish nightmare. When he's not cursing his luck or referring to himself in the third person, Doug likes to repair computers, play on computers, think about computers, read about computers, or otherwise have some contact with computers. Also, he likes cacti. If you want to know more about cacti or Doug Hodge, contact your local library.

Springdale
David Bradshaw
Purebred Arkansas hillbilly. I like to read e-books, write software (C++), and hike. I was an electronics design engineer for a few years but now I'm semi-retired. I don't like big cities, pollution, big government, taxes, and that strange noise the TV makes when thrown out the window. I doubt therefore I might be.
NOTE: Anything in parenthesis can (not) be ignored. Gotta run. Neighbors just sighted Elvis making crop circles!
