Alexander Ronald MacDonald

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jerry Raymond '56 on September 30, 2004:

Everybody I know liked Skip Macdonald. As an upperclassman in my cadet company he was one of those about whom we said, ?I want to be like him.? He had a smile that brightened even gloom period and always had a good word for a friend. I did not see Skip after he graduated, but I thought of him often. I talked to him a couple of years ago after having seen Monk Dilts in Durham. Monk was not doing well. Typically, Skip was as concerned about Monk as he was about his own serious condition. Even though I had not seen Skip in years, I feel like part of me is missing now.
