I love my job but I didn’t start out wanting to be a car salesman. Growing up in Barnegat, I wanted to be the next star shortstop for the New York Yankees. In fact, I was the leading hitter on Southern Regional All State Baseball team. I thought I was half way there unfortunately that didn’t pan out; I graduated college in May of 1972, signed my teaching contract at Toms River North High School and thought I was on top of the world! Just one problem, I needed a job until I started teaching in September as I applied as a car Salesman at Joe Bennett Chevrolet. As he needed a couple of more salesman, while he was moving his business from the corner of Rt 9 and Rt 72 (where the Diamond Mine is located) to a new location (now Causeway Nissan). Since I just graduated from college, grew up in the area, and knew how to spell Chevrolet, took a chance on me and I got hired. That
summer was crazy. Learning the product, learning how to sell cars, and getting “Lesson Plans” ready for teaching in the fall.
I did so well that summer selling cars, Mr. Bennett called me in his office and asked if I would be willing to work part time basis as I was teaching. I said “Sure!” not knowing that working two nights a week and all day Saturday I would finish first, second, or third on the board every month. In June, I finished my first year of teaching. Mr. Bennett and his managers called me in his office again and asked if I would give up teaching and become a full time car salesman. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make. I loved them both, but I really had fun in selling cars. You get to talk to different people every day, laugh with them, and in there somewhere you sell them a car! In 1993 I moved right next door to Causeway Ford and found out Ford was easier to spell than Chevrolet. (I’ve lost some brain cells along the way). For the last twenty years, I’ve been selling for the Wintrode Family and have loved every day of it! Plus, the owner, Dave Wintrode, is a Yankee Fan. Recently I celebrated my 41st year in the business. I’ve been blessed to have sold over 11,500 cars and trucks. It’s hard work and you do have to put in your time. My wife is an angel for putting up with me! But the rewards have been well worth it. I am very active in our church (St. Mary) have coached Stafford Little League for 24 years, coached Stafford Soccer, and have been a member of the Long Beach Island

Ingredients: 16 to 24 lbs. dressed turkey, fresh or frozen (allow 1 lbs. per serving for birds 12 lbs. or under) Kosher salt and ground pepper Dried herbs and spices of choice: sage, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, Dressing (stuffing) of choice, optional, Vegetable oil, Turkey Gravy To prepare the turkey for roasting: Do not stuff the turkey until immediately before roasting. When ready to roast the turkey, rinse the outside and cavities of the bird under cold, running water. Cut away and discard any fat remaining on the bird. Place the turkey on several layers of paper towels to drain. Using additional paper towels, pat the outside and cavities dry. Sprinkle cavity liberally with salt and pepper. To stuff the turkey, stand the bird on its tail end in a large bowl; using a tablespoon, stuff the neck cavity loosely with dressing. Pull the neck skin over the dressing and fasten it to the body with a poultry skewer, stuff the body cavity loosely with dressing. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush all the exposed surfaces with vegetable oil. Sprinkle liberally with your choice of herbs, spices, salt, and pepper. Insert a meat thermometer into one of the inner thigh areas near the breast, making certain the tip of the thermometer is not touching bone. While many commercial

turkeys are packed with a disposable thermometer preinserted into the breast which is designed to pop up when the bird is done, a standard meat thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of the thigh at the time the turkey is placed in the oven for roasting, is considered a more reliable means of determining doneness. Also, a standard meat thermometer makes it possible to know how close the turkey is to being done -- an aid in timing preparation of the remainder of the meal. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the aluminum foil about 30 minutes before the turkey is done to complete the browning of the bird. When done, remove the turkey from the oven and place it on a serving platter or carving board.
