If you recognize something that sounds like your name, please stand, says Bob Knight as he introduces club guests and visitors. Quite a few guests turned out to hear the new NC State University Chancellor.

Jay Myers (James M. Myers & Co., Inc.) treads down a dangerous path telling "women's jokes" during health and happiness -- a potentially career-ending move, especially when the speaker is a woman.

Dr. Eugene Kozhevnikov ("Mr. K") poses with a happy Dr. Barry Miller.  Now, shouldn't a pediatric dentist be all smiles?

From left, three generations of the Al McCulloch family: grandson Ryan S., son Richard M. and Al.   Interestingly, Ryan graduated summa cum laude from NC State where he was Battalion Commander of the Wolfpack Naval Reserve Officer Training Corp his senior year.   Ensign McCulloch October 21 will become an officer on Charlotte's namesake nuclear submarine, the USS Charlotte.  After graduation as mechanical engineer, Al's grandson was invited by the Navy to go to nuclear power school; he recently finished his submariner training at the US Naval Base in Groton, Conn. By the way, proud dad Richard S. McCulloch attended State, too.
