Kenneth "Skip" Goodman was a classmate from the class of 1965, Stewart, Minnesota. There were 42 kids in our class. Skip was a great guy, came from a good Catholic family and played football, baseball and basketball. Stewart had, and still has, a population of about 600. We all knew everyone in town.

After high school, Skip decided to enlist in the Marines because he wanted to serve his country. Skip was a fearless man and he accomplished his objective of serving his country. It was a great loss and a great shock to our community when we got the news in January 1968.

God Bless him!
