VJMC Member Profile By Jay Horine

Our current 'new' webmaster is in reality one of our old webmasters. Stanley was the original webmaster who resurrected the 'cobweb' VJMC site back in 1999 into the site layout you see today. He is 50 years old, married with one daughter and has just become a grandfather for the first time. He is presently a member of the New Jersey Air National Guard's 177th Fighter Wing, Atlantic City and serving on active duty with the USAF. He is assigned as a computer programmer/analyst with the 702nd Computer Systems Squadron, Tyndall AFB, Florida.

Although he grew up in New Jersey he calls Lynn Haven, Florida is home now. Lynn Haven is located next to Panama City on Florida's Northwest coast on the Gulf of Mexico. The area is best known by such euphemisms as "LA" (lower Alabama) or as the "Redneck Riviera". It is the home of America's finest beaches -- the Emerald Coast.

A member of the VJMC since 1998, he has re- duced his vintage biking activities to occasional jaunts around his local area on one motorcycle, a

1973 Honda CB450 K6.

He also keeps a 1988 Yamaha 125Z scooter handy for quick beer runs. He appears to be sat- isfied with it's performance and reliability. "She never failed to bring home the beer yet!", he says.

Stanley's immediate goals for our website is to do weekly updates of all new items and updates of important information as needed. In between he is planning a complete site update and redesign. Also on the agenda is a move to commercial on- Stanley and his Gateway PC that he uses to line methods for Visa or MasterCard payment update and maintain the VJMC website. such as you see on other large websites.

Stanley is very proud to be following in the footsteps the retiring webmaster, Greg Shortridge. "Greg has done a tremendous job all these years," Stanley said. "Having previous experience as a webmaster really made me appreciate the incredible amount of time Greg put in over the years that most folks just don't see. My hat's off to him. I know he is going to well at anything he sets his mind to in the future. He has that 'stick-to-it-ness' that really pulled through for this club."

You can contact Stanley at [email protected] or by clicking on the webmaster email link at the bottom of any page on the VJMC website.
