Frances Kwan: Last minute<br />

change of players at an annual Ferrari<br />

Fall Rally (I ended up winning<br />

the Fix It Again Tony award on that<br />

run). Jumped into little miss reliable<br />

and she finished the rally like<br />

a champ.<br />

Jimmyg Gallegos: August 2017,<br />

Stuttgart, Germany.<br />

Bill Kruder: Maggie’s wedding<br />

with our “Hagestad” 356.<br />

Chantel Tennyson: First road trip<br />

in Zara. My best friend of 35 years<br />

had been diagnosed with Stage<br />

4 Ovarian Cancer and told she<br />

wouldn’t live. She and I had not<br />

seen each other in 10 years. My<br />

daughter and I decided on the spur<br />

of the moment to drive to Estes<br />

Park, CO and surprise her with a<br />

visit to cheer her up before her 2nd<br />

chemo. This bear and sign guard<br />

the house. She is now in remission,<br />

by the way.<br />

Andrew Golden: Flying to Vegas,<br />

picking up my 981S and driving it<br />

back to Dallas.<br />

Jim Hirsch: Road trip that included<br />

a long stretch of Hwy 1... ocean,<br />

curves, mountains, and a top-down<br />

Porsche.<br />

Mike Mahoney: Taking my twin<br />

granddaughters to an impromptu<br />

Mavs and Mochas.<br />

Hunter Bentley: Taking delivery of<br />

my first Porsche in April.<br />

Mel Benzaquen: Mine was purchasing<br />

my first 911 in August of<br />

2017 and then shortly thereafter<br />

kicking myself for not buying one<br />

earlier!<br />

Stephen Dumas: Mavs and Mochas<br />

November. Nice to see all the other<br />

944s.<br />

Jorge Carmona-Rodriguez: A dream<br />

come true...first 911.<br />

Mark Fleniken: Prior to unveil for<br />

Atlanta PEC delivery.<br />

Doug Tallman: Buying our first<br />

Porsche and loving it! Enjoying the<br />

road trip from Dallas to Asheville<br />

NC for our first Treffen and celebrating<br />

our 20th anniversary at the<br />

resort we were married at!<br />

Paul Moseley: Being a massive<br />

Steve McQueen fan, every year during<br />

Monterey Car Week, I try to say<br />

something constructive to Chad<br />

McQueen. This year in Carmel we<br />

ended up side-by-side on the sidewalk<br />

as cars lined up for display,<br />

and right in front of us were two<br />

re-creations of Stan Mott’s Cyclops<br />

fantasy racer made famous in his<br />

stories for Road and Track magazine.<br />

“What in the hell is that?,” Mc-<br />

Queen asked me. Being a 60’s R&T<br />

font of knowledge, I got to explain<br />

the whole Cyclops thing to Chad.<br />

I think you’ll agree that our<br />

Porsches and membership in the<br />

Maverick Region make for some<br />

memorable times for all of us.<br />
