Jack cut quite a figure driving his old gray truck and wearing his signature plaid shirts and faded baseball cap. One of his often-mentioned quotes was “if you are bored in Flagstaff, it’s your own damned fault.” Years ago, Jack was a tireless promoter for the preservation of Picture Canyon. Jack saw the possibility of what Picture Canyon could become. The fact that Picture Canyon is now an attractive part of Flagstaff’s open space is largely due to Jack Welch’s hard work and perseverance. I am suggesting, and I hope people will agree, that it would be appropriate to rename Picture Canyon in Jack’s memory as the “Jack Welch – Picture Canyon Preserve.”
