Col Scott was one of my very favorite people, the best part of my 30 year Army career was with him as the 1ID G2 & in the 1/2 Inf Bn at Fort Riley. I loved his book "Pieces of Eight". All the best Kathy & know how much Chuck loved you.

Colonel Scott was and always will be my life long hero. I never got to tell him that and just thought it very fitting to tell his family, about the impact he had on another soldiers life. GOD BLESS your family and may Colonel Scott rest in peace.
