Well done, good and faithful servant. Thank you Col Skardon for leading so many by your excellent example! You will be missed.
I had the privilege and honor to have had Col Skardon as my English Professor when I returned to Clemson after my stint in the Army. He was such the gentleman
and wanted desperately for you to learn, understand and love the the English he taught so well. You will be missed by so many!
