Whomever wrote this obituary knew Jim Scott well. He said that being a father was the most rewarding thing that had ever happened to him. I knew him when he only had Will and Meredith, and they had just moved to D.C. He was so afraid he would not be able to stay involved with them as much as he would like after they left Charlottesville. I am happy he was able to enjoy all five children and two grandchildren.
