Nobody except teachers ever called him Morgan, to us he was SkeeBo Hess. Not sure where that nickname came from but I do remember one winter morning in our senior year, a car had careened off Melton Lake Drive. SkeeBo saw it happen and immediately ran down the hill, jumped into the lake and helped free the driver probably saving a life. After that we all thought of SkeeBo in a different light. I lost track after graduation but based on his Obituary it seems he went on to a life of service in law enforcement in Georgia He was a good guy!
This is from his obit "Mr. Morgan W. Hess, age 66, of Blackshear, passed away Monday morning (9/13/21) at his residence following an extended illness."
We moved to Warrior Circle when I was 5 or 6 years old. Skeebo became a dear friend during my childhood on that circle. We had our own bicycle club and had our pic in the paper! Was me, my sister Gail, the Seals twins, Bobby and Billy, and Skeebo's sister Charlotte (I think was her name) and maybe others. I lost touch with Skeebo after I moved away but I never forgot him.
