Bob Poindexter: Helping others learn to take control of their lives
QUINCY — Bob Poindexter has worn a variety of hats throughout his life as a military chaplain and even more since he arrived in Quincy years ago, as a pastor, a social worker a board member for the Quincy Valley Medical Center. Poindexter, 82, has also earned the title of author as he published a book titled “Who Do You Think You Are?: Retaking Control of Our Life” last July. “Everybody knows me in town, and I don’t know why,” said Poindexter. “I guess if you stay here a long time then people know you.” Poindexter and his wife of 60 years Sandra moved to the Quincy area in 1997 from Southern California when his wife and her friend had the idea to start a plant business in Washington.
