Car(s): '88 White GT
Bio: I am founder of our club
which originated back in October of 1991 with eleven
people. After so many years, I have yet to loose
enthusiasm in maintaining our club because of the
over 350 members we have. I have met so many club
members that are now personal friends; the Fiero
brought us together, but the relationships keep
us together. |

'88 Red T-Top GT V8
Bio:
I
joined NIFE in 1993 after reading an article about
the collectability of the 88GT, and then purchasing
a 88GT identified as one of the top 10 on the list.
A couple of months later I found a 86SE that needed
work, and the rest is history. I have owned multiple
Fiero’s over the years, and continue to enjoy
Fiero’s along with the many enthusiasts I have met
in the Fiero community. I continue to function as
NIFE’s membership director, club treasurer and
“merchandise fulfillment center”. |

Driving got to be a chore. Then in May of 2008
I bought an 86 GT. Driving was fun again. I use my
car most every day. I really love that I can take
my "daily driver" to car shows and still attract
attention! I Joined NIFE in 2009 and I'm always
looking forward to the next event! |

Car(s):
'86 White GT
Bio:
I remember being aware of the Fiero buzz back
in high school in the mid-eighties. In high school
and through college, I drove a 1969 Cadillac. I
loved that car, but the body & drive train were
starting to show their age. I always wanted a
Corvette, but wasn't in the budget for a recent
college graduate. I started looking at Fiero's &
eventually stumbled across a white '86 GT for sale
by owner, which I purchased. In November of 2000, I
took on the role of NIFE Webmaster, after our
previous webmaster, Byron Daugherty moved out of
state and have enjoyed working on our website along
with Mike Kroyer ever since. |

Bio:
I am one of the eleven original charter members from
1991. I designed the club logo and helped name the
club along with Jim. I've been a long time board
member and have enjoyed serving as your Vice
President and President while Jim took a rest from
the duties. I also enjoyed working on the display
for the 2003 World of Wheels. You may also remember
the many fall color tours Carol & I scouted out and
put together. We now live in Arizona and miss all
our friends and NIFE activities. |

Car(s):
'88 Red GT
Bio: In 1995 I first heard of NIFE in the newspaper and
went to a meeting. I had my first Fiero, lived in
Winfield, Il. and joined the club. I was a board
member until I moved to Colorado in 2006. Now I'm a
"Member at Large" but still try to keep active in
the club by helping with Fierorama Publicity, and
various other mailings. This helps me keep in touch
with the great friends I have made through
NIFE. I use my red '88 GT almost every day in the
summer. |
