Clyde Jr Massey

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Eugene A. Fox on November 8, 2003:


Well, I, for one, remember Skip Massey from Sullivan's Prep School in 1951. We used to escape and evade from his room down the fire escape after lights out...high times around Dupont Circle and vicinity (the Circle was different back then!). Also recall Skip playing the guitar and playing the harmonica at the same time on a coat hangar around his neck...I was very impressed by his skill. Finally, there was the day he enticed a squirrel into his room with peanuts and then grabbed him...found out that squirrels have sharp teeth and fleas! The faculty used to over-watch him carefully...Wendel the Grendel particularly. He was a man whom you would never forget and one who would raise the spirits of all who met him. May he rest in peace.
