No family gathering at Mom and Pop's in Bethesda would have been complete without Uncle Skeets sporting a fresh new tan from the Bahamas and my Uncle Dick Doerner's unique laughter coming from the dinning room as we arrived. I always thought my Uncle Skeets was cool. I will miss him as I miss all my aunts and uncles that have passed. Make no mistake about the fact that the brothers were thick as thieves.
