We invite you to hear Robert “Bob” VanHook speak on “Courage in Support of Civil Rights.” His talk will include personal accounts of Bob’s experiences in the struggle to see that civil rights of all individuals and groups are protected.

Robert “Bob” VanHook was born in El Dorado, Arkansas and attended public schools there. He is a graduate of Hendrix College and earned a Master of Divinity Degree from Duke University.

Bob served as a Methodist minister from 1962 until 1979, working in churches in North Carolina and Arkansas. He has been active in community affairs in various communities, working in civic organizations and serving as a delegate to the Seventh Constitutional Convention of Arkansas.

Most recently Bob has spent almost 20 years with Radio Shack primarily as a manager.

After living in several cities in Arkansas, 20 years ago he moved to Hot Springs and has enjoyed life here. Bob is currently retired and enjoys some travel, his model railroad, and most of all, the company of his friends.
