Our History
A Tribute to Graham Becket
Before we became a region of PCA, Porsche owners in Alaska in the 1960’s formed the Porsche Club of Alaska. One of those members was Graham Becket. In late 1970, through a committee that was formed by the members of the Alaska club headed by Graham, they applied to PCA to become a fully chartered member of PCA which was signed in January of 1971. Graham was instrumental in the administrative work of being granted as a charter region of PCA, and the region owes him our deepest gratitude for making it happen. Graham was our last surviving charter member until his passing in late 2023. He served in every capacity for the club and was a trusted advisor through those years. Graham always said, “Once a Porsche club member, always a Porsche club member.” His experience and friendship will be missed by all who knew him.

Dave Oliver
Vice President
Retired President of a midsize mechanical electrical consulting engineering firm in Anchorage. I have been a car guy since I was a teenager and am enamored with all kinds of performance cars. For a number of years I held a SCCA National Competition Racing License and road raced at several venues across the country. I was also the primary autocross course designer for SCCA teaching autocross course design. I look forward to getting back into autocross and helping out with the Club’s autocross program. Our first Porsche purchase was a new 2006 Cayman S which was sold to fund the purchase of a 2010 911 4S. We have since added a 718 Boxster S to our collection. My wife and I joined the Alaska Region PCA in 2009 and have immensely enjoyed the club both locally and nationally through attendance at Porsche Parades.
Ann Jasper Secretary
My introduction to Porsche was watching my husband Tim go through the process of designing & having our 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo built. We took delivery at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta on February 10, 2021! Our passion for long road trips, discovering new places, new friends & living the dream as part of the Porsche world. Being a member of our PCA Alaska Region and now serving on the board allows me to give back to our community.
Faith Hamilton
Webmaster & Treasurer
Once described as a relentless competitor, Faith has season championships in Dragracing, Autocrossing, and Road Racing in Alaska. A car enthusiast in general, she started autocrossing with the Alaska Region PCA in the mid-90’s. Webmaster for the club since 2015, her websites have won us 4 national awards with PCA. And in 2023 she was honored to receive the Terry Bowden Award for her commitment to the club. Her current car collection does not contain a P-Car, but that will soon change with both a 914 and Macan S in her sights…
Jim McNeff "McNurd"
Membership
Jim always had a spot in his heart for Porsche’s at an early age, dreamed of owning a Porsche for any years. After moving to Alaska in 1989, Jim bought his first Porsche in 1995, a 1973 914 1.7lt and became a member soon after that and has been an active member ever since, serving in every spot on the board and as numerous chairs for the club. “SNUFFY” his 914 has seen much of the Alaskan roads in many club and non-club events. (read about SNUFFY in My Porsche Story in our web site) After retiring from the military in 1999, SNUFFY got some TLC in keeping up with the roads of Alaska. In 2014, he decided that SNUFFY needed a big brother in the garage and bought a 1988 944 Turbo S, “SCRAT” Two Porsche’s are better than one as his late wife, Patti said one day. Now that he has retired from State of Alaska employment, it is time for SCRAT to get some TLC. Jim’s other interests are boating, fishing, snowmobiling, and turning a wrench or two on the fleet of cars and snowmobiles. Dilly Dilly.
