Centenarian banker skinner aged 100 in Jonesburg life
R W Skinner president of Jonesburg State Bank celebrated his 100th birthday last March 14. He sold his car for a tricycle and mower used a wheelchair for mobility and recalls decades of banking, farming, and business in the community. He attended Dr J O Helm’s Appreciation Day, spoke firmly on stage, and counts aviation radio and moon trips among life’s milestones. He credits longevity to staying interested and drinking water, noting deafness and a long hospital history but a sharp memory of past disasters and family stories. He shows pride in 50 years of banking and loans for local customers as he nears his second century.
