Early life and family

Haskell was born May 27 1921 in Wilmington, Delaware, the son of Du Pont executive Harry G. Haskell. He was educated at Tower Hill School, Wilmington, and St. Mark's School, Southboro, Massachusetts. He attended Princeton University from 1940 until 1942, when he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard Reserve. He was made an ensign in 1943, and was discharged as a lieutenant (jg) in 1946.

Professional career

Haskell was personnel manager of Speakman Co. in 1947 and 1948, and President of Greenhill Dairies, Inc from 1948 until 1953, and then owner and operator of Hill Girt Farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. He was secretary of the Departmental Council of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1953 and 1954, consultant to the special assistant to U.S. President Eisenhower in 1955, and president of the University of Delaware Research Foundation. In 1970 he was appointed a member of the President’s National Reading Council, and was president of Abercrombie and Fitch.

Haskell was a delegate to the Republican National Conventions from 1952 until 1984, and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1956, defeating incumbent Democrat U.S. Representative Harris B. McDowell, Jr.. He served in the Republican minority in the 85th Congress, but lost his bid for a second term in 1958 to Harris B. McDowell, Jr..
