William Dennis Skay

Denny knew how to make things happen. He loved music and put together his first band when we were kids in Philly. One day I heard them practicing down in our basement. They kept playing that song G-L-O-R-I-A over and over again and they were not going to stop until they got it right. I am not sure if they ever got it right but I still remember all the lyrics. lol. When Denny applied to Elmira College, he was told by someone in the admissions office that they would accept his application...

"D Skay has a" Blues Band" Did he ever. We met Denny back in the late 60's Troubled times, great times. He had a rough beginning as I remember. We were all finding ourselves as VERY young adults. I had two children at the ancient age of 18, so our group took D Skay under our wings. Moved out of Philly to the mountains of Tioga County, Pa. Denny followed with many visits. Taught our children about Music, gave guitar lessons to our son, more importantly introduced "Bye Bye Mrs. American Pie "...

Denny, you are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran.
