Hi! I'm Skip's daughter Jenifer. I clicked over to your blog and your photo portfolio from my dad's blog. He mentioned to me that he got in touch with "an old Navy buddy" recently. He said it meant a lot to reconnect with someone from the past.
It's great to see your work - as you know, my dad is doing a lot of photography these days, too. I think he has a lot of talent and potential. And I don't think it's too late for him to make some sort of career out of it. He just needs a lot of encouragement. He's really good about giving me a lot of encouragement when it comes to my writing.
Anyway, I really enjoyed your photos on your portfolio - quite beautiful. And nice that you two reconnected! Take care!
