Memorials

I was just remembering Mr. Scott who I worked for at the WesternElectric in Newark in the 1970's and decided to look him up on the internet. He was one of my biggest supporters and mentors in life. He taught me so much. I will be ever grateful that he touched my life as so few have. Sincerely with all my heart! I am truly sorry I never got to see him one more time.
