Scott Davis - 10 years

[cigar95]

This isn't exactly a "current event", but today marks ten years since the passing of my best friend in the sport. To this day, when I hear a good joke one of my first thoughts is often "Davis will love this one, . . . . . oh, . . . scratch that."
Scott first got me involved in meet announcing back in the mid-80s, as well as statistical work with FAST, where I compiled the women's hurdles and horizontal jumps for a number of years.

I miss Scott, in and out of the booth. Truly one of the funniest men I knew.

One year at Sunkist the meet had no announcing for about 2-3 minutes because Scott and I were both laughing our asses off so hard we couldn't speak. Courtesy of Barry Schreiber and Jack Shepard.

Loved Scott. Rarely saw him but we spoke on the phone 2-3 times a month for years. Always had a joke for me and I usually had one for him. I always called him Elgin Scott and he called me Elgin Bill. You'll have to figure out why.

Who went to Baylor?

I met him back in 1984 (?) when FAST was first standing up and we spoke at an LA meet - the Olympics?! I definitely knew who he was w/o the FAST affiliation.

I always remember when Bob Hersh gave a session on Meet Announcing at a USATF Annual Meeting and Scott showed up and added some pointers. Listening to the two of them was fascinating.
