Skip was born April 19, 1909. He passed away February 24, 1992 in Greenville, SC. Skip  left to right Scotty(?), Skip(?), Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Pannis(?)  Skip's cartoon-like from flight school days dated '35. It was drawn on what looks to be parachute silk by one of the characters pictured called Whiz. It has 9 birds of some sort decked out in leather flight helmets and goggles sitting around a poker table and the characters are labeled Skip, Scotty, Pete, Rambo, Whiz, Rags, Sam, Rex and Ace. As far as I can remember Daddy always had this picture hanging. I think it was one of his treasures.
