So sorry to hear of Skid’s passing. I remember him for his skills on the basketball court. He was born just 31 day after I was. His wife, Carolyn, and I were in the same grades from “primer” through high school. We both graduated high school in 1949 at age 16. Skid was one of the good guys, who raised a wonderful family. Rest in peace, my friend.
