Scott was born in Washington, DC on December 21, 1966.
"Scott was due on December 18th and was three days late. During that time, I had false labor pains. It was snowing when Ken took me to Sibley Hospital, Washington, DC, in the early morning hours of December 21st and the pains were coming in three-minute intervals. They gave me an interdurmal (or something like that) but it didn’t work so then they gave me a “saddleblock,” which left me numb below my waist. I wanted Ken to see his child born and they told me I would have to be awake if I wanted that.
Scott was born with great lungs and very healthy. He was adorable, no prejudice intended. He weighed 8 ½ lbs and was 21 inches long. We were ready to come home within the prescribed three days (normal stay at that time) but DC had the biggest snowstorm of that year; airports were closed, stores were closed, etc. On top of that, the electricity shut down in our home on Nebraska Avenue, NW, so my OB-GYM would not let Scott and me go home. We stayed at the hospital until December 26th and enjoyed the holiday cheer at Sibley."

Scott's Premonition about the Day and Time of His Passing
On Monday of that week, Scott was sleeping and I was sitting in his hospital room, reading. I looked up as I saw his right arm lift and his fingers climb a make-believe ladder into the air. He kept repeating, "I've got to get ahead of him. I've got to get ahead of him." I asked, "You've got to get ahead of whom?" His response was, "Van Cliburn." (Van Cliburn had honored our country by winning the first Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow in 1958. Since Scott had been a piano student from age 7-17 and had won several piano competitions at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, MD, I thought that he might be referring to the piano virtuoso when he said, "Van Cliburn.")
I asked him, "Where are you?" When he didn't answer, I suggested, "Are you climbing the ladder to Heaven?" He responded affirmatively. I then asked, "Where are you in line?" Scott replied, "I'm 466 in line but I've got to get ahead of him." I asked what day this was and he responded that it was Friday. At that point, Parkland Hospital staff came in to take another x-ray and we never resumed the conversation.
That Friday, all during the day, physicians, nurses, tech staff, and Chaplin Duncan came to say good-bye to him and to offer prayers for him. I was told that everyone in the hospital who had come in contact with Scott had found him stalwart and brave. He was referred to as a hero many times that day.
When Scott passed, someone realized that the number 466 could be 4:00 o'clock. Then add 60 minutes and you get 5:00 o'clock with 6 minutes left over. So 466 becomes 5:06 (when he passed) and it also was on a Friday. G-d bless Scott, wherever he is, and also bless those who love and remember him.

..."It is my intention to start law school in Fall 2005, six credits short of completing my BS-Mktg degree (I just have to finish the BS before the JD is done). That also means moving sometime next spring, but the excitement is that I currently have no idea where I will live from 2005-08. I will be applying to 9 schools. Upon the completion of my JD, I hope to return to UOP to attain my MBA degree (and then I will be done)!"
