Wilbur Manly Skidmore

West Point, 1956

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Colonel George J Stapleton on April 19, 2006:

Even though Bill and I were not stationed together during our time in service, I still remember him fondly from our Cadet days, especially at Camp Buckner. We were in the same flanker battalion and lived in close proximity in Central Area. He was one of the nicest guys in the world and a "True Gentleman", always with a smile on his face. We will always remember his on-going battles with the Academic Dept. I will hoist a cold one in your memory at our 50th. Rest Easily!
