Young Floyd R.
"Skip" Hyson, here in flight gear, flew for the air force during WW
II, the Korean War, and Vietnam and was promoted to colonel before retiring.
Back home in Smithville, Skip was named Outstanding
Citizen in 1983 for tireless work with the Boy Scouts of American and other organizations
and for, along with his wife Lucille, donating their historic family home to the
Smithville Heritage Society for use as a museum. Photo
