The Author records personal experience working with Skempton in the 1960's and characterizes his research style. His major contributions to the study of slope stability are identified. The note concludes with an appreciation that Skempton's role in slope studies has been transformative, primarily due to his holistic approach in addressing ground characterization issues in addition to his more detailed and important research contributions.
