In loving memory of Skip Earle, his family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the "Mt. Vernon City Schools Boys and Girls Track". Skip's lifelong love of physical education began at the Mt. Vernon High School track. After participating in football, wrestling, and track and field at Mt. Vernon High School, Skip pursued a lifelong carreer in physical education, coaching and officiating. He attributed his success to the incredible coaches and mentors who supported him at Mt Vernon High School. This inspired him to create opportunites in suppot of young people.
