I don’t think I ever officially met Jim Scott. Saw him in person a few times from afar. But what I do know about him is that I would call him as a teenager in the morning and ask him to help me promote the community garage sale that I and my merry band of teenage leaders group buddies were putting on to raise money for the teen group at the YMCA. Not only was he not annoyed or even seemed slightly annoyed, he was gracious, told me when he was going to talk about it and he did it every time. Because of that, I felt like we were friends and I was a loyal Jim Scott supporter.
Godspeed, Jim Scott. Thanks for everything - for me, for our town, for radio and most of all for celebrating the common good in every person and every community.
