How do I find out about a club that exists for people with the name
"Bob Johnson"?  I know one exists as I've read about it someplace,
just can't remember where or when.  It's true, they even wear name
tags (all Bob Johnson) at their meeting, convention or gathering. How
do I make contact with them?

Nope, it's not a book I'm looking for (but thanks).  I read a news
article about the club some years ago, and there was even a photo.

Well, they exist all right. Or existed. There was a San Francisco
Chronicle article about the Bob Johnson Club in 1986, indicating that
the club had been formed in 1984 by Bob Johnson (who else?) of San
Antonio.

I also came across a mention of a NY Times article that had a
photograph of one of their events, but haven't been able to track that
citation down yet. Maybe another researcher will have better luck.

Here's a reference to a fictional Bob Johnson society:

It's the most popular name in Minnesota:

But it seems most likely that you are thinking of the book.
