member of the firm of Roberts, Wilson & Skeel, and in 1918 this firm's name 
was changed to Roberts & Skeel, as it exists today.  Mr. Skeel has attained

of litigation.  In 1908 Mr. Skeel married Miss Hazel K. Emery, and the couple 
have three children, two girls and one boy.  Mr. Skeel holds active membership 
in the Rainier club, Arctic club, Seattle golf and Country club, Rotary club,
