THAT WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT 63.  I WAS 5 THEN BUT OUR LITTLE TOWN HAD NO KINDERGARTEN.   I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE BAD DAY WHEN PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED.

 

MY COUSINS WIFE PASSED AWAY THIS LAST THANKSGIVING DAY.  SHIRLEY REALLY LOOKED LIKE SKEETER EXCEPT SHE HAD SHORT HAIR.   SHE ALSO DIED OF CANCER.   I USED TO TELL HER SHE LOOKED LIKE SKEETER AND SHE WOULD LAUGH ABOUT THAT.

 

IN 1963 SKEETER ALSO BROUGHT COUNTRY MUSIC TO THE BEACHES.  WHO WOULD EVER THINK  KENTUCKY OR TENNESSEE CONNECTING WITH THE BEACH BUT HER AND CAROL KING CONNECTED THE TWO.  NOW WE SEE ALLOT OF THE COUNTRY ARTISTS PERFORMING ON THE BEACH. 

LONG LIVE THE MEMORY OF SKEETER..
