MERRICK S. "PETE" ANDREWS (May 8, 1914-August 23, 1992) grew up in the Philadelphia area. As with many youngsters in the '20s, he was fascinated by airplanes, and that naturally led him to aeromodeling-both Indoor and Outdoor Free Flight. Pete was a quiet, yet humorous individual. His dry wit as well as his capable technique will never be forgotten. Pete's true gift was evident during the 1920s, when he began to focus seriously on Indoor. By the late '20s, Pete was immensely active in the Philadelphia competition scene.
