Club History

Dick Stewart has been busy compiling the names of the officers of the club since 1961. Dick is a great historian and has been the collector, so to speak, of the years of activities and it's very interesting to hear the story of the club.

If any of you have any of the history that you would like to share, please send it along. It's great for the newer and younger members of the club to learn the roots of the Delaware R/C Club.

Loren Caudill transcribed the early club minutes from the Secretary's book covering the period from 1959 to 1975. It's a great recollection of how the club came to be and the process of coming to rest at the Lums Pond site Here's some more Nostalgia for you:
