SKOV, in Blair, NE.  His sister, Helda CHRISTIANSEN, d. 9 May 1962 in Blair.  His grandchildren were Viva M. SORENSON of Blair and Eugene CHRISTIANSEN of Blair.

• Article, Blair Enterprise, 17 Feb 1966.  Blair's "Mr. Centennial."  Saturday, February 12, was a big day for Mr. L.P. SKOV, of the Good Shepherd Home in Blair.  That was Mr. SKOV's 99th birthday.  Mr. SKOV isin very good health.  He can walk about his room, ride his wheel chair down to the dining room each day for meals and take care of himself quite well.  With a big smile Mr. SKOV commented about his advancing years by saying, "God treats me nicely.  I know Him and He knows me."  He likes to watch television and still reads the newspapers, magazines and books.  Each morning he does all of the exercises he can right along with "That TV fellow."  His hand is steady enough to write letters to his many friends in this country and his native Denmark.  He shook his head and admitted, "I have to look up some of their names and addresses now.  I just can't seem to remember all of them."  As the Enterprise photographer was ready to leave Mr. SKOV said, "I'd like to have you come back next year to take my picture when I'm 100."  Our comment is that we will be more than happy to take another picture next year.  It is already marked down in the calendar book.  As far as this newspaper knows Mr. SKOV will be the only person in Washington County who will be 100 years old the same year as the State of Nebraska.  Mr. SKOV should be the honored citizen of Washington County during the Centennial year of 1967.  Pictured above Mr. SKOV looks over one of the many birthday cards he received on his 99th birthday.  Mr. SKOV has three children still living in this area.  They are Mrs. Soren C.

Synopsis:  

• Betty Jensen remembers "Mick" Jensen as a member of Chris E. Jensen's shelling crew.  She remembers that he was the "cut-up" of the crew - always playing practical jokes and doing funny things while skillfully getting them blamed on everyone else in the crew.  She never knew his real name was William Jennings Bryan!
