Uncle Bob was my Godfather. Uncle Bob was a fixture at our home on Sundays and holidays in the late 70’s and early 80’s. I clearly remember as a child Uncle Bob and my father watching “Ponch and John” fight crime on their motorcycles every Sunday! Uncle Bob bought me first camera, gave me my first ride in a 911, and took me to my first auto race “12 hours of Sebring” where I got within 10 feet of Mario Andretti I was 13! Today at the age of 38, my passions in life include auto racing, photography, and the yet to be purchased 911! It will be a sliver 1976 911 with the whale tail and the speedometer will be disconnected! Godspeed!
