Connie Matuzek
Connie Matuzek is married to Ann and they have two daughters Kathi and Lorri. He graduated from WPI with a degree in Electrical Engineering but spent his professional career in the Marketing and Sales disciplines.
During World War II, his dad was conscripted by the government to work, under their control, as a private contractor. His last assignment was at Camp Edwards on Cape Cod. While there, Connie’s dad rented a cottage near the ocean. As a young boy, the author spent two summers living there with his family. He fell in love with the ocean and dreamed of one day owning a cottage on an ocean beach.
While at WPI. Connie was selected, along with nine others, to join an organization known as THE SKULL. During the initiation process, he learned a significant lesson that stayed with him all his life. It was “If you want to do something hard enough and you make a commitment to do it, you at times can accomplish what initially seemed impossible.”
His wife Ann also loved the ocean, so when they had a chance to buy land and build a cottage at Saquish Beach, it was an opportunity they could not pass up. It would be a wonderful place for them to raise their two young daughters.
Connie and Ann are now retired and live in Fort Myers, Florida.
