I did not know Scout personally, but I remember him from a very young age. Him and my mom worked together at the Best Western before it closed. I was very young when I met him, and I remember him being very sweet. He loved me and my baby sister. One of my earliest memories includes him. My mom had brought me into the hotel´s kitchen where Scout worked and he was trying to offer me some watermelon, but as a young kid, I was too bashful to accept. Even after the hotel shut down, whenever my family would run into him, he would make sure to ask how we all were.
