Clyde Jr Massey

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Richard A. Galindo on February 5, 2002:

I met Skip about eight years ago in the Rio Grande Valley when I bought a German Shorthaired Pointer pup and was ready to commence training. Skip was the local GSP man. He trained his bird dogs to eat at his command which was as follows: He would bellow "Navy slop" at which point the dog was required to stand at attention. Then he would bellow "Army Chow" and with this command the dog would lunge toward the food bowl and commence eating. Skip and I trained young pointers together for a couple of years before losing contact. During hunting season I was travelling through Zapata, Texas and noticed a young GSP tethered in the back of a truck. I waited for the owner, just to talk, and lo and behold out rumbled Skip. Unfortunately, we lost touch again and until searching for him on the web this evening I was not aware of his passing. Good hunting Skip.
