Captain's Log: Captain Convincing


These are the voyages of the GAMship captains. Our fourth Captain's Log recounts a time when GAM needed a hero to conVINCE shipmates to unite; and one young Kirk beamed up--Captain Vincent Pierotti.

Captain Vince heard the mayday of another GAM ship sailing in choppy seas and came to their aid. The captain donned the red suit and stuck out his knee. But not for Captain Morgan. (Morgan was his commander.) Captain Vince was Santa Claus for a day to celebrate Christmas in Brooklyn Chinatown, distributing toys to the children. His Christmas spirit lifted that one GAM ship out of dry dock, and forged a new spirit of cooperation.

Hi Members of GAM:

Thank you for your support on our Christmas Celebration in Brooklyn Chinatown. I hope you all had a wonderful experience volunteering with us. This event wouldn't be so successful without your help, especially your Santa Claus. I've a link to our photo taken on that day and I hope you can join us in our coming event next year.  I also hope we can start a good partnership with the rest of the NYIT program in the near future. Let me know if your club need the help of our community, we will definitely support you.

Captain Vincent Pierotti, GAM CC Fall 2009
When asked to choose his favorite adventure, Captain Vince shared Rolling With GAM. "There are so many good memories to choose from. I think my favorite event was GAM bowling. We realized that Judge Gregorek was a natural, and I realized that I should stick to contact sports."

Captain Vince sailed halfway around the world, and continues his legendary spirit for conVINCing people to unite on himself. "I studied Media and Communication Arts at CCNY. I currently live in Tokyo, Japan. I have been studying the Japanese language, culture, and media for the past year. I plan on working and living here for a long time. It really is a great country and the people are wonderful."

Captain Vince united castaways welcoming them aboard GAMship creating a vibrant crew in the face of troubled waters ahead. Even though his voyage at the helm was short, Captain Vince brought fair winds and following seas to GAM. He was honored with the second Me Hearties pennant. Bon voyage, Captain Vincent Pierotti

Thank you for the kind words and for such a great experience. I had so many good times being apart of GAM and enjoyed every second as a captain. I look forward to a reunion when I return from overseas and wish you all the best in your future voyages.
