Andy Scott was one of the most enthusiastic, intelligent, & down-to-earth people I've ever met.
We first met early on, and became great friends towards the end of high school.
For a group of us from LHS, much of our teens-to-30s was defined by experiences & events we shared together with Andy.
Andy was funny, thoughtful, steady, and possessed an inner strength we all tried to emulate, while 'running against the wind'.

In later years our paths led in different directions, but fortunately his memory prevails.
All the best to wife Susan, his folks, and those great kids roughly the same age as ours.
