Forrest "Skeet" MacDonald was born in 1900, died in 1992. He
was Virginia "Jini" Mac Donald's husband. They lived in what was
the Lingley's house, now owned by Marion Breeze. Skeet and Virginia
had a daughter, Collie. Skeet was a lobsterman, had the boat named "Poozie",
the pet name for his daughter. Marshall Chapman owned the boat for a while but
it is now owned by John DeWitt. Skeet
was mild mannered, kind, a true gentleman. The Very Reverend Bob DeWitt
used to stern for him in his last fishing years. Skeet had one car (1932
Pontiac Coupe), one boat, one house and one wife and took good care
of them all.
