My name is Edward Hervey. Igot to know Scott when we went though Basic Training in Fort Leonardwood Misouri. We were room mates at that time. We got to be good friends. Remember meeting Scotts Grandpa that lived in Lone Tree Iowa. I have been looking for Scott for many years. This weekend in the miles stone I see a picture of him from His fiance Trish. It made me very sad to hear of his passing. Looking at the picture I knew it was Scott. Seeing that smile of his that I’ll never forget. I sure wish I could have found Scott. I have some pictures of Scott taken during basic training. He was a good friend then and I have never forgot him . I hope you get this I know it has been some time since his pasting. But just wanted to let you know that I have thought of him for many years. Even tho we had not seen each other for years I still think of him as a very good friend. My thoughts are with you and his family God Bless you all
