If you’re a book lover, the next several paragraphs will be right up your alley. Starting mid-summer, a sub-committee of the Literary Arts Working Team began their work to select the book for the 2019 Community Read. Their list started with 65 books, which was compiled from nominations supplied by the Coronado community. The process took the next big step Saturday, July 7, 2018, when Coronado Cultural Arts Commissioner Lei Udell and the Coronado Library’s Principal Librarian Franklin Escobedo hosted a Book Lover’s Brunch.

The brunch concept was designed to get members from various book clubs around Coronado to weigh in on a list of 12 books, that would be cut to five, for the final public vote on the 2019 selection, which is now underway. We’ll list all 12 books in case you are looking for a good book to read. The list included:

Ted Nulty is a difficult man to interview, but not because he’s not engaging or willing to talk. Simply the number of successful things he has done in his life is daunting. As an interviewer, you start to get a handle on one profession and then you find out there’s more to uncover.

Nulty is the son of Thomas G. and Pamela Nulty. He arrived auspiciously, born on the driveway to the Queens North Hospital in New York City. Nulty explained, “My mother couldn’t quite get into the hospital.”

Nulty detailed his family’s military history, which now covers four generations. “My father was involved in Marine Corps amphibious reconnaissance. He wrote and designed the Small Boat Program for the Navy SEALs and Marines. Area 51 at Camp Pendleton, where the machine gun and mortar pits are, is named the Thomas G. Nulty Training Facility after my father. My mother Pam was the U.S. Marine Intramural Judo champion for eight consecutive years. She could Kung Fu King Kong. They were a corporal and a staff sergeant when they met. My great-grandfather earned the Navy Cross in World War I, by grandfather served in the Marines under Lt. Gen. Chesty Puller, and my father won the Silver Star in Vietnam.”

Doug Andersen, owner and general manager of Coronado Bayside Grill at the Coronado Golf Course is getting ready to do just that at the end of this month. Andersen will continue serving golfers and the community until the last day, Aug. 31, while getting ready to close.
