About Us

This page is currently a work in progress.  The club is celebrating it's 50th anniversary this year and we are in the process of pulling together historical information and pictures to display here.  We appreciate your patience.

 

On September 10, 1959, Francis Beckett and 9 other “members in good standing of the Porsche Club of America” petitioned for recognition as “Porsche Club of America, Kentucky Club.”  The petition was accepted and our region came to life in November 1959.  Our original territory was the “entire of the Commonwealth of Kentucky” and several southern Ohio counties.  In November 1961 Ohio Valley Region was formed and several counties in northern Kentucky along with the southern Ohio counties were surrendered.  In 1962 our club fell into a period of inactivity until 1964. On November 5, 1964 Edward Hessel, Jr. began inquiring about re-activating the old charter for the Kentucky Region.  On December 3, 1965 the first meeting was held and a committee was appointed to write the Bylaws.  On December 15, 1965 a second meeting was held at Hasenour’s Restaurant to elect the officers.  The Kentucky Region officers for 1966 were: Edward Hessel—President, Arthur Blair—Vice Pres, William Heil—Treasurer, and Marilyn Sommer—Secretary.
