| FROM THE 2003 YEARBOOK UPDATE
Joe Swierzynski - Atco, NJ
Accomplishments:
Having been self-employed and maintaining a better than average
lifestyle since 1978. Driving an NHRA Pro Stock Car for 5 years.
Appeared on ESPN a couple of times, even made the top 10 one year.
The excitement of going fast - - What a rush!
Memories:
March 1967, the day I plan to get my driving permit. Sr. Annuncia decided to
hold everyone back at the end of the day because she was in a bad
mood (or hungry). She finally cuts us loose. I leave 211 and head
out the Decatur Street door. Instead of pushing the door handle,
I push the glass. The breaking glass sounded like an explosion, and
my wrist looked like I was an axe murderer. I took off and went to
the DMV and got my license. Later I called the office to tell them
what I did. Nothing ever happened.
Future:
Hit the lottery and go back to racing Pro Cars. The competition out-dollared me so I had to bail out. I know I can outspend them. |
