I didn't know him well, but I will always remember Michael Scher. I first met him as the drummer for the "Swing Doc's" Band. I owned a nightclub in downtown Albany named Savannah's. We spoke briefly about music a couple of times and that was all. Several years later I met him again at his home where I was to pick up some antique items to sell at my sister's Auction House. We recognized each other and spoke. During our short conversation he found out that I had no health insurance. He insisted that I come to his office at no cost to me whenever I needed to. Thank You Dr. Scher, you were an exceptional person.
