From a genealogy forum:


"Hello,This is Marty Coleman, Skeets' son. Ben and Melody Coleman are not related to our family and the seebee is unrelated to my father's Aeromarine design of the late 50's. I suspect they just chose a not uncommon name for someone working on a boat/plane machine. Skeets is living in San Diego, is 87 (as of 2005) with his younger daughter. He is planning to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma this year to live with me. He never did make the Aeromarine, but over the past decade actually did have a scale model built that has been test flown once.
If you have any questions about my father's career please feel free to ask. The actual Pogo is in the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum annex in Virginia, near Dulles airport"
