In fact, Coaca Johnson once 3tated that Dick was one of the finest blocking-backs who had ever played on one of his football tc«r:is Dick has special mechani- cal talents which will be sorely missed in the future for if there was ever anything that needed repairs in Grant Union in the oast four years, you coutbd be sure Welch would be the one drafted for the job not that he minded, and -if he could get out of „ class to do the job you c-ould be sure he wouldn't mind» W© de- pended upon Dick entirely for the last two ye rs to onerate the movie nrojector and thanks to him from the class of 47 for a fine looking stage and the proner nron3 for the two olaya.
