Skip had aside hustle. In 1969 I was in the USAFSS and returning to Korea from leave with a stop in Okinawa. Skip was walking thru the terminal when we met again. After catching up, he asked me if I wanted a watch. Literally he opened a briefcase full of Seiko watches on display. It reminded me of an old cartoon. His brother-in-law worked for Seiko and he was a part time salesman. I did buy a watch that had a wind up alarm. That watch worked until 1979 and became fully jump qualified.

I know nothing about how he died, but I will remember him as a friend.... Collapse
