IN IVIEIVICRY CF CAPTAIN PATRICK WELCH The life of Captain Patrick A. Welch, 27, was abruptly ended with a crash of a U.S. Air Force C-141 transport, in Egypt. All 13 persons aboard, including 6 McChord airmen, were killed instantly when the aircraft exploded ih the desert outside Cairo. The airmen, all members of the 8th military airlift squadron at McChord Air Force Base, were on a mis- sion to test the new U.S. Rapid Deployment Force. The death of Captain Welch takes on a special significance to those of the Tacoma area, because not only was he a life long resident of Tacoma, but also a graduate of Mount Ta- homa in 1971. Welch is also the brother-in-law of Dean Rennie, a Mount Tahoma faculty member, Welch became aware of the military at an early age, be- cause his father, Robert Welch, was a pilot with the Army Air Corps. Later Patrick developed a stronger interest in the Air Force at Mount Tahoma. Welch marked his stay at Mount Tahoma with many achievements. As a sophomore, he was a member of the Cadet Band, and as a Junior, he played J.V. Basketball and Baseball. In his Senior year, Welch was the homecoming chairman, and a member of the A.S.F., Studio Choir, Concert Band, and the varsity baseball team. After graduating in 1971, he went on to Central Washing- ton University where he earned his degree in geography, by way of a two year ROTC scholorship. After graduating in 1975, Welch received cryptography assignments, which took him to bases in Texas, and Alaska. lt wasn'f until later that he received the much awaited flight school assignment. Follow- ing that assignment Welch went on to a C-141 school in Oaklahoma. He received his Captain's bars in February of 1980 and was only on his 6th overseas mission as a co-pilot, when the crash occurred. Survivors include, his wife, Ruth, two children, Robert and Audrey, his mother Betty Berling, and His father Robert Welch. Captain Welch also has two sisters, Robbie Rennie, and Barbee Booth.
