Welch, Harvey D. -- Interviews

Harvey Welch talks about moving to Fontana Village while he was a junior in high school so his father could work on the Fontana Dam project, hiking and camping with other Dam Kids, working on the project himself while still in school and joining the Navy Air Corps in 1944. Welch goes on to further talk about coming back to Fontana after his Navy service, going to school in Cullowhee briefly before moving to complete his education at the the University of Missouri, changes in Fontana Village since the time he left, and attending the Dam Kids reunions since 1965.
