Bruce Crabtree
Local Secretary
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.

Mena
Leonard Nijssen
Hi, my name is Leonard Nijssen and I live in Mena Arkansas. Filed and obtained a divorce in 1972. After having searched for many years I finally found the woman I want as my life partner and we have been married since August 2006. My Life Partner is a retired professor and dentist from Peru.
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 quite successfully 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 and more.
For the past 20 years I have been quite involved with computers and, since 1992 have made this a full time business. I seem to be plastered all over the web when you Google my name.
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.
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 much more with a library of 9 book cases 6’ high overflowing with books), music, travel, camping, fishing and more. I enjoy dogs, cats and horses, was with the mounted patrol, search and rescue in California.

Mountain Home
Eleanor A. Bast (Ellie)
Now that we have moved into the big city (11,000) of Mountain Home, I no longer feel isolated. Just the opposite. Still haven't met up with other Mensans that I know of but my life is still full of activity. I am still open to meeting other Mensans in the area if there are any.

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

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!
