Scott spent a year studying in Germany. He spent a month in Africa with a friend who was in the Peace Corp. These experiences inspired his love of travel and adventure.
About 1990, Scott hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner at his home. Scott provided turkey and dressing and the main parts of the meal. Everyone brought something. A friend brought rhubarb pie, another home-made bread. The table was beautifully set. The meal was superb. Scott was also a great cook.
