AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Presentation of an Honorary Conch Certificate to Capt. Skip
Bradeen for all his years as an icon in the community.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Skip Bradeen grew up in Merrick on the south shore of Long Island, NY. His dad
was a charter fisherman for 20 years. After serving four years in the Air Force, Skip worked as a deck hand
on a fishing boat out of Freeport for the summer. "I just bought a new Chevy Impala, I was going to drive to
Fort Lauderdale and take a two-week vacation. After that I was headed back up to meat cutters school to
become a butcher." His friend mentioned that he was headed to the Keys, so Skip, who had never heard of
the island chain, gave his buddy a ride to Islamorada and "hung around for a couple of days to check it out,"
he fell in love with the Keys and just never left.
Skip Bradeen has become firmly ensconced not just as a highly respected captain but also as a valued
member of the community. He would avail his local celebrity for many charities and causes through the
years.The Keys has been lucky to have him as an "Honorary Conch" member.
