Jennie Hamilton Skillman

St. Augustine activist Jennie Hamilton Skillman was the kind of person who makes this a great place.  I first met  her on successive Saturdays in 2005, picketing with J. Ken Bryan (later a County Commissioner) the ASHLAND/APAC asphalt plant on SR 207, a plant that in 1998 St. Johns County's inept government allowed to be located in a residential neighborhood. 
It takes a village.   Ms. Skillman helped to make this a better place. 
My deep empathy and condolences to Ms. Skillman's son, Aubrey, and to her entire family.
