On Tuesday south of Warroad at age 68, Scrapper looked full of mischief. He and Wendy have been married 46 years. His T-shirt says it all.
Very few top Dean "Tony" Skogman - aka Skogie, Grumpy and now Scrapper.
Scrapper describes him perfectly - he's working class, stubborn to a good degree, and hell on wheels.
One definition of scrapper hits the mark: [He's a real scrapper; even against impossible odds, he always keeps fighting.] italics
That's old Skogie
His Warroad pals call him Grumpy.
Grumpy, my ass!
Sure, he gets grumpy.
We all do.
Usually, he comes at life with a smile, an intensity and an appreciation.
His favorite gesture is rubbing his hands together like he just won the Irish Sweepstakes.
Some guys bitch all the time....
