Dic Evans is one of many heroes that Moelfre and its lifeboat station has produced.
Dic's service as coxswain was a long and successful one culminating in his part in the rescues of the Hindlea in 1959 and the Nafsiporos in 1966.
Having won the MBE and two coveted RNLI Gold medals he retired in 1970. He died in 2001 at the age of 96.
The Sculpture of Dic Evans is cast in fine art bronze. He stands 7 ft high and weighs approximately 400 Kg.

Hey Mitch, you have the knack of choosing the right process for each image. The clouds almost looks like they were done is sepia. Great process for me.

I like the texture of the stone. The face reminds me Sir Winston Churchill.
