My best wishes to Scott's Family and loved ones. This life is a joyous struggle. I knew Scott and served with him in the Seabees and I'm grateful to have been able to talk with him in Later years. Rest easy Hivemate.

When i was a scared little mouse in middle school, a much older (1 yr bwwaaaa) Jay, who seemed a grownup and larger than life, didn't know me but treated me like one of the guys. a seeming small thing, but really important for me at the time, and remembered forever. For some reason i recall that he wore a trenchcoat...perhaps a trick of memory, but he was too cool for school either way.
