Club History(Written by Malcolm Young) Started in June of 1991 with 15 members - of which 10 are still members. Two of the original members said that we should start a club. Because both were still working and didn't have the time they suggested that I should do it. I tried to avoid doing it but my wifeTerry found out about the suggestion and she pushed me into calling and finding people. The first to mention it was Bob Crider. The second was Jim Hines, I said to Jim where can we find these people? He asked me if I was going to the V8 Club flea market at the Shirley Airport. I said "yes". Jim said to meet him there and he would find a lot of people to sign up. I did sign them up and then made arrangements for our first get together in May of 1991. In June we had our first meeting, elected officers and set up the dues. Due to Terry doing the pushing and being our first secretary and passing away before our first year was over we decided to start the Terry Young Award of Excellence. In November 1992 Mary Sheridan took over the job as editor of our newsletter. She has done fine job ever since - 24 years. In April 1995 Frank Miller took over as treasurer and has also done a fine job for 20 years.Our oldest Newsletter I found in my collection is dated September 1991Officers were: Malcolm Young - President Bob Crider - Vice President Steve Stepbhnos - Treasurer Terry Young - Secretary Don Berry - Newsletter Editor 2017 Club OfficersPresident:Vice President:Ron LacontoPaul MitchellPaul O’KeefeSecretary:Treasurer:Ed SullivanDavid LibbeyMembership Secretary:Newsletter Editor:Diane ShemethJim Hines JrTechnical Advisor:Webmaster:OpenJim Hines Jr.Past Presidents1990’s 1991 Al Kennedy 1995Alden Schofield Malcolm Young1996 Bill Sheridan 1992 Bob Crider 1997 Frankie Miller III 1993 Mark Smith 1998 Joe Beland1994 Mark Smith1999 Deborah Sinkis2000’s 2000 Don Pelley 2005 Frankie Miller III 2001 Rey Sansoucy 2006 John Carnazza2002 Skip Twichell 2007 Jim Hines Sr.2003 Mark Smith 2008 John Asplund2004 Debbie Pelley 2009 Keith Costello2010’s 2010 Jim Hines Jr. 2015 Jerry Hyson2011 Don Pelley 2016 Debbie Pelley2012 Harold Smith 2017 David Libbey2013 Peter Hitchcock2018 Ron Laconto/2014 David Libbey Paul O’KeefeTerry Young Award of Excellence1992 Malcolm Young2000 Frank Miller 1993 Bob Crider 2001 Peter Shemeth1994 Mary Sheridan 2002 Bill Lynch1995 Bill Sheridan 2003 Dave Boulay1996 Diane Shemeth 2004 Debbie Pelley1997 Don Pelley 2005 Frankie Miller III1998 Rey Sansoucy 2006 Ed Sullivan1999 Deborah Sinkis 2007 Jim Hines Sr. 2008 John Carnazza 2009 Alden Schofield 2010 Keith Costello 2011 Mark Smith 2012 Mary Hines 2013 Bill Lynch 2014 Dave Libbey 2015 Karen Hyson
