Loved Skippy. We were water aerobics buddies and talked about going on vacations. We both liked Grand Circle Tours. She loved to travel. She was an inspiration for all. Lived quite a life. Her Friend. Judy Taub
Skippy and I graduated together from Garfield High School, NJ in 1945. She was in some of my classes. A great and talented gal. I also was in her company at some of our reunions. I extend my prayers and sympathy to the family.
