Remember that the tribute will be only one component of the giant celebration of Scott’s life, so we likely will not be able to utilize everything that is submitted. However, if there is enough great material, we may create a longer version for Anahit, Carter, and Alex. We will also be archiving this material at our tenBroek Library also as part of the historical record about Scott. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you so much for lending your words in celebration of Scott!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
