Our speaker last week was DICK WALKER, who told us about his boat making hobby and displayed many of his works. Dick came to Richfield in 1970 as a coach at Richfield High School. He is “Famed” as a successful coach here in Richfield, but this week he displayed his talent as a model boat maker.

Dick actually started making models as a youth, but in late 1970’s began making sailboats. He even has a pontoon boat made from 3D printer- made parts. In 1992, he converted from making kits to making boats from scratch, using printed plans... He has won several gold prizes for his models and he is still making model boats today !
