Atco, NJ

Accomplishments:
Having been self-employed and maintaining a better than average lifestyle since 1978. Driving an NHRA Pro Stock Car for 5 years. Appeared on ESPN a couple of times, even made the top 10 one year. The excitement of going fast - - What a rush!

Memories:
March 1967, the day I plan to get my driving permit. Sr. Annuncia decided to hold everyone back at the end of the day because she was in a bad mood (or hungry). She finally cuts us loose. I leave 211 and head out  the Decatur Street door. Instead of pushing the door handle, I push the glass. The breaking glass sounded like an explosion, and my wrist looked like I was an axe murderer. I took off and went to the DMV and got my license. Later I called the office to tell them what I did. Nothing ever happened.

Future:
Hit the lottery and go back to racing Pro Cars. The competition out-dollared me so I had to bail out. I know I can outspend them.
