Scott Swanson passed away yesterday, from complications of a heart condition he had his whole life. For those who knew him, no further words are needed. ( For those who didn't... )
I heard he was hospitalized in Chicago, and I wanted to visit, but nobody seemed to have information about where, and the next thing I hear, he died. I, too, fell out of touch with him, and I'm sorry I'll not have another chance in this lifetime.
In 1993 or so a bunch of my fellow 1501C wing friends made up a joking parallel between Star Wars and the CRC. In it, I was Luke Skywalker, Scott was Obi Wan Kenobi, and Chuck Maddox was Yoda.
I hope to see their blue force-presence sitting by the side at my next campfire.

At least now Chuck Maddox will have good company.

Is there any chance anyone has this footage? I didn't see it on YouTube.

I've asked the guy who posted it to put it onto YouTube for the non-Facebook crowd.
There's been a HUGE gathering of Scott's friends posting memories to his Facebook wall.
There will be a Scott Swanson Memorial Club Pseudo at IMSA on Saturday at 3pm in the Auditorium.
