Nancy, this is a message from long time ago and I hope you get it. Marriage seemed to separate us as we went our different ways but I still think back of some of our good times. Sorry to read about Scott. It has to be a great loss. Other than that I hope life has been good to you.

My thoughts are with you Nancy. Scott was one of the many great guys I worked with at the PP. He was so easy to talk to and it was so easy to make him blush.
