not sure if he was known here, but Dave Welch passed away, yesterday, I believe... Just wanted to pass that along to let folks here know. He was a heck of a modeler. I didn't know him personally, but to these that did he was a great guy as well.

Only from communication by email. He is and will forever be known as a kind and helpful man who was gifted with creativity when it comes to subs and tugs!
If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

Spoke with him many times at the Groton meet. Always a kind word. An icon has passed.v/r "Sub" Ed

NEVER underestimate the power of a Sailor who served aboard a submarine.

Now I remember, when the 1/72 Gato first came out, Caswell/Meriman offered a Cylinder for it, but so did Dave Welch. His used the blood pressure cuff system. Nice helpful Guy. He was always building or modifying something.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment
