Skippy and I attended Morris Brandon together and he asked me to be his little league baseball sponsor! I was so excited about being his sponsor that I did not go on the Washington trip with the 7th grade patrol. I remember going shopping with my mother for my dress. It was great to have the special time with mother and for $40.00 we got 3 lovely dresses. I picked the baby blue one to wear on that special day with Skippy. I know he moved to France and spoke French fluentley. He was so handsome and I remember he married a French girl! I am not sure about children, but I think he had a little girl. I do see his brother Jimmy on occasion and do know they lost their mother maybe it was last year. She was a dear person. Skippy was brilliant. He will be so missed at our reunion.
Some years ago a friend and I were on a bicycle trip to France, and stayed a few nights in Paris. I made it a point to visit the Sorbonne and walk the grounds of the University, remembering that Skippy had taught there. It is a beautiful place and it seemed as if his presence was everywhere!.
