I just learned about Scott's passing. Scott was a friend and colleague of mine, and one of the most decent people I've known. God bless him, Sally, and Ben. I wish you good sailing in heaven my friend.

Scott and I were colleagues at CIA and long-time sailing buddies. Scott had the best vision of any sailor I ever knew and helped me navigate many challenges. He was a true gentleman--always considerate of others feelings and tough and determined. Beth and I will miss him terribly. We suspect he is navigating a new course in Heaven and enjoying every minute of it.
