Richard Downing Pope, Jr. (1930 - 2007), better known as Dick Pope Jr., was a World Championship water skier.[1] Pope is credited as the first man to successfully ski on his bare feet when he accomplished the feat in 1947.[1]
In addition to his skiing career, Pope succeeded his father, Dick Pope Sr. as president of Cypress Gardens in 1962. He took the company public in 1972, and was elected chairman of the board in 1982 before the company was sold to Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc.[1]
Pope and his wife Frances at one time held the husband-wife 12-gauge world title for skeet shooting
