My adventure with Alfas started back in 1986. When I was visiting relatives in Florida I borrowed my uncles Fiat 124 Spider. The car only ran properly after I took it out for an Italian tune up. I came back from that determined to get me one. The only probable was that I was only able to find rusted out hulks. A friend at work said his dad had a neat car in the garage up in Lake Geneva Wisconsin. It was a 1968 Alfa Romeo Duetto. I had never heard of Alfa Romeo before that day. It was lust at first sight. There are just some things you won’t do for love. I took my test drive 3 days before Christmas, with snow and ice and not exactly top down weather. I brought my baby home. A few weeks later I stopped at the Alfa dealer for parts and the first person I ran into was Mike Besic.(I was doomed). I wound up joining the local chapter shortly after that meeting. I quickly became active in the club. 40 years later I’m still active in the same car. With the passing of our last president, Dennis SBertoli, I felt it was time to give back to the club I got so much from. In the club you make new friends. Over time these friends become family. I now have an extremely large family. Most think I’m the crazy uncle, but I’m still family. There is always room around our table for more club members. Stop by and hang out with us for awhile. We have monthly meetings where we get together and socialize. We also have event thru out the year to do all sorts of of car oriented things, and maybe some that are just fun. New member, as well as the existing ones, are welcome to all our activities. Come on out and join the family. You won’t regret it!!!
