Skip Crowe inducted into Second Wind Hall of Fame

TRYON—The Rotary Club of Tryon nominated Skip Crowe for induction into the Second Wind Hall of Fame, and the Board accepted the nomination. Skip was officially inducted at the Rotary Club’s weekly meeting on August 8.

Skip has been a member of the Rotary Club of Tryon for several years and the Greensboro Club for many years before that. He serves on the Rotary Board and has served as Chair of the annual gourmet nut sale. He is also a member of the Tryon History Museum board and the Outreach board. For the last couple of years, Skip and his wife Denney have organized the Airstream weekend in Tryon. Skip works with Men Without Jobs, helping local residents in need with a variety of community tasks.

He worked for Signal Thread Textile Company, Highland Cotton Mills, and Greensboro Housing Development, and has a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Finance.

Skip and Denny just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have two daughters, and he enjoys golf, gardening, camping, and sailing. He would like to be remembered for how much he loves his five grandchildren.

The mission of Second Wind is to identify outstanding volunteers who contribute so much to the quality of life in our community and to provide recognition of retirees sixty years and over who had a useful and productive life continuing beyond retirement while others paused to rest. They caught a ‘second wind’ and began a new career of service to the community and to mankind.

Second Wind Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) organization and welcomes nominations for induction.  Requests for nomination forms may be sent to carolbrowning72@gmail.com .
