Chuck Welch, Human

The short line? Father, husband, writer.

My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for a news site, Lakeland Local. It’s a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida.

As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent — Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun

Lakeland Local is a hyperlocal blog for current and future residents of Lakeland, Florida. I’ve recently moved to that Central Florida community and I can think of no better way to learn about my adopted hometown than to share it with you.

I put together a site for my good friene Duane. Check out the Pulprack.
Jeffrey is my very favorite clown. They don’t like him in Montreal or Miami though.
I used to [...]

With a couple of common names like Chuck and Welch it’s easy to see that there are many other “Chuck Welch’s” on the net. I am not any of these guys:
I wanted to be a fireman when I was a kid. It seems this Chuck became a Battalion Chief in Bloomington, Indiana. Even better is [...]

The first unauthorized Metafilter clone site. The site was my attempt to provide a site where people could discuss books and the ephemera of publishing. It debuted like gangbusters. Then the software was overwhelmed and it died. Michael Moncur brought it back to life with open-heart surgery. Albeit a slow sedentary life. I’m still [...]
