Herrol James Skidmore

West Point, 1956

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by William H Ward on May 24, 2017:

As a plebe and yearling in his Math classes in 65-66, I recall at least the subject if not the substance of his lessons. I posted this as a "Flower" on his Find-a-Grave Memorial, which can be found on www.findagrave.com by searching the Sante Fe National Cemetery in New Mexico:

Valuable (if not Fond!) memories of your dreaded Math classes during my Plebe and Yearling years at West Point. If nothing else, I at least remember how painful deriving "Eigen" values/vectors was! May you forever enjoy the Mansions of the Lord in reward of a life well lived.

- William H. Ward, USMA '69
