Alexander Ronald MacDonald

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bill Welter on November 27, 2003:

As reported by his classmate, Skip MacDonald was laid to rest on 26 November 2000 in San Antonio, Texas. A memorial service was held at noon at the Christ Episcopal Church and was extremely well done and extremely well attended.

All of the MacDonald Clan were present and Skip's oldest son, John USMA '79, gave a wonderful tribute to his father on behalf of the family. The service was very upbeat (a celebration of Skip's life) and ended with the singing of "Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory" (Battle Hymn), followed by a trumpet solo of "On Brave Old Army Team".

Classmates that were able to attend and represent the class were Jon VandenBosch, George Kennebeck, Woody Black, Jerry Crancer, Tom Weaver, Jim Cooper, and Jack Campbell.

Skip will be missed.
