after a five-week illness. He was a collector of gas engines and a

his wife Jean attended many shows each year and always looked
forward to the start of show season each spring. He is survived by

1989. Clifford was the father of Roy F. Powell who passed away
October 29, 1988.

many gas engine shows throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania and it
was a pleasure to see the closeness of this family and the respect
and pleasure they had with their many gas engine friends. His
brother Glenn still attends the shows.

JIM W. SKUTT passed away very suddenly on June 16, 1989. Jim was
born in Pontiac, Michigan on March 5, 1926. He married his
childhood sweetheart, Jeanne, and moved to Southern California.
They had three children and, after 32 years at Lockheed in Advanced
Development, Jim and Jeanne retired in Eureka.

In the 1950’s and 1960’s he was active with his 1928
Ford and the Model A Ford Club of America. He also had a Model T
and a 1931 Alfa Romeo. After he retired, he kept a Model T
Speedster but became more involved with stationary engines and
logging equipment. In his retirement years he acquired a large
collection of drag saws and vintage logging equipment.

Jim will be badly missed by the many people he has touched. We
feel very fortunate to have been his friends for so many years.
