Memories and Condolences
for Harold Skinner

Not sure what to say?





I was honored with a Shriners Bud Skinner Potentate 2013 Lapel pin. It is White with a big green three leaf clover and a black pickup tuck on the front. I'm sure there is someone who deserves this more than I do. I walked among my Irish ancestors in several parades and must have acquired in in one of those many events. I would consider donating this to someone who has a deep connection with Bud. You can contact me by email at [email protected]. A brief resume' regarding this token would help to make sure it goes to someone who really desires it and has the connection with that individual.
