Book of Memories for Bernard Einar Skud

Story shared: Bernie is honored guest at NOAA Fisheries event

Wed, 30 Apr 2014 11:37:05 EDT

In August 2009 Bernie Skud was the honored guest at NOAA Fisheries 75th Anniversary Event at the Little Port Walter Marine station in southeast Alaska where he did classic research on population dynamics of pink salmon in the 1950s. Shown here are photos of Bernie talking with Dr. Douglas Demaster, Director of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center and Willard Brewington, a colleague that also worked at Little Port Walter with him. Bernie published many important papers on pink salmon including the first research ever conducted on intertidal spawing of this salmon at Lover's Cove near the LPW station.

The second photo shows Bernie sharing a glass of wine with Charlotte Heard when he visited several friends in Juneau and Auke Bay after the anniversary event.

Pat and Family, Bernie was a patient of mine at Harada Physical Therapy. I always enjoyed our conversations (especially about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I used to ski). He was a regular participant with our gym program-he will be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Marilyn

We always looked forward to our visits with Pat and Bernie when we came to visit Mary in Oak Harbor. We enjoyed our chats and will miss him. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Khalil Gibran

Pat, we were deeply saddened to hear of Bernie’s passing. We recall how he always had a ready smile and a quick laugh at our summer neighborhood get-togethers. Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
