Club President
To all the members of the Garden State GTO’s I would like to take this
opportunity to introduce myself as your new president. My name is Michael
Williams and I have been a member of this club since 1996. I was secretary from
1998 to 2002 and have worked with the Regional event and the GTOAA Nationals in
1999. First, I would like to thank all the outgoing officers, who have done an
outstanding job leading the club and making it a great place to gather and
support this hobby of ours. We have over the years been blessed with
enthusiastic members who are passionate about these cars and events we use to
record the history of the Muscle Car, Pontiacs, and GTO’s in particular. As we
move forward, I am counting on the support, suggestions, ideas and opinions of
all the members. This is your club and as President, I am merely the one who
helps to achieve the kind of club that its members wish to have. Your officers
and board members will be meeting soon to start planning for the upcoming
season.
Please feel free to contact me with any events and activities you would like
to see in the future. I look forward to seeing and talking to you all at our
next meeting. |
Sincerely,
Michael A. Williams

Club Vice President
WOW! One minute you are just a lowly member helping out on the web, next you are a club V.P. Stranger things have happened I guess. My name is Dave Dixey. Has a ring to it doesn't it?! I grew up with cars cutting my teeth on MOPARS. My cousin had a Barracuda, and I can remember ICE COLD mornings changing 727 transmissions to a 904. I fought becoming a Pontiac guy, but now it is exclusively Ponchos. My current "under-restored" car is the Tempest. I pride myself that I have done ALL of the work. My brother has helped a lot, but the only thing that I have paid for is the alignment and tire balancing as I do not have those machines.
I like to cruise in the car and see other Ponchos and mods. I have been known to drive with the hood off and a few times a year I will go to a show or a cruise every night of the week.
I WILL see you at a meeting and I WILL see pictures of your car on the web!!!

Thanks,
Dave Dixey

Club Treasurer
My name is Harold Murray. Most of you know me as being your club president
for the past six years. That’s right, I’m the guy who wrote all of those wacky
President’s letters consisting of somewhat dysfunctional content causing some to
reconsider their rabid contempt for that utterly annoying next door neighbor.
You know the guy who looks at your GTO and asks "how come it’s so loud and why
don’t you buy a new car"? The guy that power washes his house at 6:00AM
Sunday. The guy whose kid roller blades in your driveway while your GTO is
parked outside. The guy who asks to borrow your tools and never brings
them back. How could one find solace in proximity to such a person? Think about
it, someone has to live next door to me. There, now don’t you feel
better? I thought so. But enough about that guy and more about me (has anyone
ever actually wrote that before?) Mike wanted me to write a "blurb" about myself
so consider this a run-on blurb -a new form of grammatical error. I have been
involved with this club for many years, serving as Secretary, Vice President,
President and now Treasurer. I presently own four classic cars consisting of a
1965 GTO convertible, a 1968 GTO hardtop, a 1966 Lemans four door hardtop (see-
they did make them) plus a 1967 little fiberglass thing that starts with
a "C" which cannot be left with the keys in it around Rocco Scotellaro. I work
on these cars for club members and others on a regular basis and it is
indispensable to have the knowledge and help provided by club members. It is
perhaps the best bargain you’ll ever get for $22.00. So come out to our meetings
and help support our new regime of officers – you’ll have fun plus you might
just learn something! |

Club Secretary
Hello all. My name is Greg McNamara and I’m our club’s new Secretary. I’m
married to Irene, and have two daughters, Kaitlyn and Laurie. I am a mechanical
engineer, hold a New Jersey Professional Engineer license, and am employed as a
Technical Manager for L-3 Space & Navigation Corporation. I’ve been a member of
the Garden State GTO’s since late 2005 (when Rocco indicated that Olga
Constandelis Teddy’s wife, wanted more company at the club's Holiday Party and
suggested my wife). My interest in cars started at a young age when I started
building Revell models of GTOs and Corvettes. I bought my first car when I was
sixteen—a 1969 GTO. I presently own a 1973 big block Corvette (keep your
comments to yourself), and another 1969 GTO that I’m in the process of
restoring—affectionately known as "Box-O-Car" for reasons I won’t go into here.
We have a great club with terrific members. I look forward to taking on my new
role as a club officer and having the opportunity to contribute to the
day-to-day operations of our organization. |
