Gov. Scott

edit

I recall shaking hands with the Governor in 1952 at the age of 5. I looked him in the eye and he looked me in the eye but I do not recall what he said. However, Concern about GMO and nutrition continues to be a major part of my life as well as technologies which can help anyone get to the bottom of an issue and completely understand it. I am also deeply committed to equality among races perhaps because my own race has the benefit of 4,000 years of cultural evolution which is not always shared but withheld from those who might improve it. I am truly a better person and fortunate that my uncle introduced me to Gov. Scott. 23:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inning (talkcontribs)

His most estimable contribution?

Kerr Scott built or paved roads that got the farmer to market in spite of the famous red mud of our state. Until that pioneering effort everybody was cut off for weeks. No farmer of his generation will forget that. Considering there were about 85 per cent farming population at that time it is curious no mention is made.

Southern Manifesto

edit

Scott's bio here is misleading. The picture that it paints is completely at odds with (and neglects to mention) that Scott was one of the signatories to the Southern Manifesto. Can someone more conversant than I with Scott's history take a whack at it? Shrinkydink07 (talk) 07:14, 6 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
