In Memoriam
Richard J. LeGaye

IPMS/Emerald City Modelers of Wichita, Kansas morn the loss of their long-time friend and fellow modeler Richard LeGaye (#32997). Richard's service in the U.S. Coast Guard throughout the 1970s was reflected in his love for modeling USCG subjects. His time spent living in South Florida also instilled in him an affection for the classic airliners that he watched fly in and out of the airports surrounding Miami.

Richard's enthusiasm for the diminutive 1/144 scale and the clean, colorful lines of airliners lives on in our club members that he inspired to "scale down" and give up "hard points" on wings. As Editor of the club's newsletter, The Oz Report, Richard was the embodiment of Emerald City Modelers for many years.

Richard lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on March 22, 2008. Emerald City Modelers misses him deeply.
