Richard Bruce Skoog
Father

[ Index | Previous | Next ]

My father was born in 1920. This is a college graduation picture taken in 1942. He grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, with an older brother, James, and a younger brother, Edward. Charles Lindbergh's 1927 flight across the Atlantic inspired the Skoog boys to all become aeronautical engineers. Dick and Jim were enthusiastic downhill skiers and, until their mid-forties, competitive ski jumpers.
