From the President
Hi Tigers!
I’m trying to keep my head from spinning due to the fantastic response I have personally received regarding the “5-Star Classic” held in the “Clock Tower Park” area of
DuPont, WA this year. A very big THANK YOU to Dennis Beaulieu, all the club sponsors, event sponsors as well as to all the vendors and numerous volunteers and others that helped to make this year’s CGCC annual 5-Star Classic a tremendous success
The August meeting had a great turn out. Due to some logistical errors the meeting was going to be in
the picnic area of the Elks Club but in the end…we were still able to use the meeting room upstairs and
stay out of the rain too! I love driving “Charvette” and having the “Corvette experience”. Judging by the
number of people that actually brought their Corvettes (I counted 43) to the meeting, they do too! It
was good to see a lot of “new’ people at the meeting and have a brief chat with them.
I was able to hand out the ‘Presidents Attendance Award” to Jim Guthrie. I’m sure he will enjoy using
the $50.00 gift certificate from Griot’s Garage. Congratulations Jim!! Please remember that all members
have a chance to win…you just have to be present when your name is drawn, signed in on the club roster
and you also need to be wearing your name tag to collect the prize.
REMINDER – The September regularly scheduled membership meeting is on the Second Saturday (11th)
of the month. The Board of Directors meeting is on the Thursday (9th) before the membership meeting
at “The Grill at Meadow Park”. If you are a committee chairman and can’t attend the board meeting
please send your committee report to VP Rick Landry.
The September meeting is also the first time you will be able to vote for people to serve on the 2011 Executive Board, Vote for one nominee for the NWACC Committee, one woman and one man for the
“Member of the Year”. Thanks to Dennis Shaw, Lona Hyatt and Sheryl Mencke for all the hard work they
did getting nominees for the election.
Save the wave,
Dennis Petersen
CGCC President

2011 E-BOARD OFFICER CANDIDATE BIOS
PRESIDENT
Dennis Petersen
I have been asked to provide a little biography for the newsletter.
I am currently employed by Lianga Pacific, Inc. located on the Port of Tacoma.
I am the warehouse manager and oversee portions of production as well as personnel
placement to keep production at optimum performance levels. I have worked at Lianga
Pacific, Inc. for 27 years.
I am also a Lieutenant (volunteer) with Gig Harbor Fire and Medic One. The “harbor” has nine fire stations that serve the community and I am the company officer at two of them and my basic immediate
response when the “tones” go out are from another station as well.
I joined Classical Glass Corvette Club with my wife Charlene in February of 2005 and have served as Vice
-President for two years and President for last year and am currently the President for this year. If
elected again for the 2011 year, one of my goals for the next coming year is to serve as President and
help to advise and mentor the Vice-President for the possible nomination to the Presidency for 2012.
In my spare time (right – what is that) I love to spend time with my wife, family and friends. My back
yard is a work in progress and after that, I love to build remote control planes and play with my trains
too.
I’m really easy to talk to, fairly easy to listen to and have been told not to bad to look at – most times.
Anything else you want to know?

2011 E-BOARD OFFICER CANDIDATE BIOS
(continued)
PRESIDENT
Tony Hyatt
A CGCC member since 1999, I have served as your
president, vice president, chairman of the 5 Star
committee, and co-chaired the Under Glass, Club
Sales, Community Service and 5 Star Autocross
committees. I retired from the US Army after a 26 year career and spent 12 years as an asset
valuation analyst for MetLife Capital before staying home to run Grandpa’s daycare. After three
years without “adult” conversation, I gladly went to work part-time for the US Post Office while
I wait for Lona to retire.
My corvettes are a 1996 Grand Sport Roadster with 57,000 FUN miles on her and our mean,
green autocross machine, a 1981 coupe which was built from the ground up by lifetime CGCC
member Jerry Frisbie. Another very FUN car.
When I’m not behind the wheel, I can be found in front of a BBQ, riding my Harley or spending
time with our ever increasing family. At last count, Lona and I have 22 grands and 1 wonderful
little great-granddaughter.
VICE PRESIDENT
Rick Ford
I’ve been married to my wife Pat for almost 32 years. We have two sons, 26 and
18. The eighteen year old, Andrew, has recently enlisted in the Air Force and off he
goes to boot camp November 29. (proud parents) We've made Washington our
home since moving out from Montana in 1989. I'm a Facilities Analyst for the Boeing
Company, where I've worked for 22 years. I'm currently assigned to the Renton site,
but I have worked at all of the Boeing facilities in the Puget Sound. Pat is a Teacher
at Career Academy at Truman High School in Federal Way.
My love of cars, motorcycles, and Corvettes, goes back to my childhood. My most
early memories have to do with what car the friends, neighbors and relatives drove. I
could tell you what my grandpa was driving when he came back from Saudi Arabia in
1962, a 1962 gold Thunderbird. Basically, if it has an engine, I like it. I'm mechanical minded and
have enjoyed working on cars ever since I got my first car in high school, a 1956 Chevrolet, it was an old
drag car that didn't have an engine in it. While working in a transmission shop I built and installed a
327 and a Muncie 4-speed in the car.... ah the memories.
I've been playing with cars ever since and like a lot of us "car guys" what I wouldn't give to have a few of
the cars now that I had in the past. We originally joined CGCC in 1994 when we had a 1970 roadster,
and let our membership lapse after we sold it. After buying our current 1992 ZR-1 Corvette in 2005 we
joined again, thanks to Dave Baine. Pat and I enjoy the club for the social aspects that both of us can
enjoy together.

VICE PRESIDENT
Doug Wilrich
A member of CGCC, along with wife Maile, since 2004. Joined after meeting some
members at a car show and hearing the Corvette story. Our Car, is a 1999 Magnetic Red coupe! Corvette activities include shows, autocross, jacket nights and
following Corvette factory racing as well as SCCA racing. I have enjoyed acting
as co-chair of the Community Service committee for the past few years, being a
part of many E-Board meetings and getting to know so many great people within
CGCC.
I’m a Washington native born in Chehalis, WA, a long time ago. Attended Tacoma
schools. Worked as commercial pilot most of my life, retired from Alaska Airlines. Still involved
in aviation, teaching aviation academics. My other interests include 2 wonderful grandbabies, 5
grown children, sailing, hiking and day tripping around Washington with Maile.
SECRETARY
Bob Thomas
Hi everyone,
My name is Bob Thomas, my wife Naomi
and I have a home in Edgewood (just
north of Puyallup) were we live with our
4 cats. I have lived here in the Puget
Sound all my life, born a raised in Federal Way.
I currently work at King County as a
Senior Network Engineer, I spend my
spare time getting my shop put together, working on our property, or
working on one of the cars.
I have been a member of the Classical Glass Corvette Club for about 2 years. My advice to anyone who joins up is to get out and participate in club events, that’s how you get to know other
members and how they get to know you. I was a member of the Tacoma Corvette Club for
about 5 years where I served as newsletter editor for two years, and did a brief stint as Vice
President.
I took a couple of years away from the Vette world, Job loss and parent health issues all led to
a couple of not so good years. A lot of those character building moments, and looking back
now, it was probably good, it gave me a renewed appreciation for life, my wife and the world’s
greatest production car.
Over the years I have always liked performance cars and I have had number of them but never
quite found the perfect combination. About 15 years ago I purchased my first Corvette, a 1963
Convertible, which I still have; drivable but needed a lot of work (still does). then a 1982
coupe, 1990 Z51 coupe, (both sold) then my current 1996 collector’s edition convertible and
2003 50th Anniversary Edition convertible. I don’t have a favorite, they are all good.

TREASURER
Alisa Dillon
As you know I have been doing the Treasurer job for 2 years now. What you
might not know is that I have been in bookkeeping for 30 plus years and
have started two businesses one we started in 1988 and sold it 10 years later
and it is still running to this day and the other I started one year ago in July
and things are growing quiet nicely. I enjoy what I do and hope to service as
your Treasurer for one more year. Being Treasurer has given me an
opportunity to get to know the membership. Sincerely, Alisa Dillon
