Jerry McClish - ISMPH

December 29, 1920 - March 22, 2008

All of our older members remember Jerry McClish as ISMP's fearless leader for over 14 years. Our newer members probably don't know who Jerry was; however, he was the single most important member of the International Society of Marine Painters. He was there when Clay Kent and a few other marine artists started our society. It was Jerry's driving force that has kept it going through all of those years. His passing is a very sad thing for all of us that knew and loved him.

Any sympathy cards may be sent to his wonderful widow at the following address:

Charlotte McClish
1011 51 Ave East
Bradenton , FL 34203
