Dianne Watson, President

I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and attended the University of Colorado and then the University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy where I received my degree in Pharmacy.
I have been a practicing pharmacist for 27 years, in both hospital as well as retail. Shortly after graduation I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I lived for 17 years. My husband and I moved from Phoenix to Pensacola and we have been in Pensacola for almost 9 years. A recent purchase of a new 2007 Boxster last September got us involved with PCA. We are looking forward to a very long and rewarding relationship with the club!

Wally Lindenmuth , Vice President

Well I have been into cars and motorcycles my whole life.  A friend let me drive his 911 in 2008 and I was hooked.  I went crazy on Ebay and started biding on cars.  I read some where that Porsche's are meant to be driven and I am following that advice.  I attended my first DE in May of 2009 at Hallett OK while I was in the process of moving back to Alabama.  It was cold and rainy and I spun off course and into a tire wall.  I pulled the fender out and washed the mud off and was back out for the next session.  I have since attended two more DE's and about 8 autocross's and a Porsche Parade.  They are all a lot of fun and you can meet some die hard Porsche people. I retired from working for a living in October of last year so I now have the time to work on my car and drive it in events.

Harry Williams, Technical Advisor

Harry Williams is the owner of Harry Williams Imports, the premier independent Porsche shop in the Pensacola area. Having worked for Porsche as a Certified Master Mechanic, Harry opened up shop as an independent Porsche tech and hasn't looked back. Driving Porsches fast is a dream come true for me. I enjoy extreme use of my 911. I will push my car and myself right up to the edge and maybe a little further. I love the challenge and the experience and I am willing to deal with the added expense brought on by rapid tire wear, brake wear, and the like.

Pete Mellin, Former President, Advisor

I'm a transplanted Yankee, having been born in Pennsylvania, spending 24 years in the Navy, and retiring to Pensacola, FL. My first German car was dad’s hand-me-down 1963 VW bug, with about 29 horsepower. I strayed across the English channel to a 1966 Austin Healey 3000, black with red interior that was my college car. I came back into the fold with an orange 1969 912 coupe, a maroon 1971 911T for 9 years, followed by a chiffon 1981 911SC. In 1999 I joined the PCA and found my latest toy, a mint green 1992 911 coupe. I’ve participated in several local DE’s and two Porsche Parades, and I plan to do many more of both.
