Luther Conway “Skip” Shelton born March 12, 1923, in Cleveland, Ohio, turned 90 this Mar. 12, 2013.
Skip, as he is known, is a decorated WWII veteran and part of what the writer considers the “greatest generation” – those who gave all to save the world from dominance by Germany and Japan. Skip was raised in Greenville and joined the Air Force in 1943, halfway through the war. He trained as a pilot in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Skip attended bomber school in Washington State and was sent to England later in 1943.
