Family, friends, team members, and record holders, some represented by their own family members were out in full force on Saturday, March 26 to pay tribute to Scott with the record board which they, officials and boosters made possible.

Calling Scott “a man of the greatest integrity," was speaker at the event, Denise Gorski, who added of the beloved official, “He loved our athletes.” Also speaking was Scott’s daughter Kim Cumbie, who shared a few favorite words of wisdom from the man whom she said “spoke highly of all the athletes he officiated,” saying, “Anything is possible.”
