Scott took me out twice in Santa Barbara, the first time,  I had just completed Breathless Agony(117 miles up to Onyx Summit) Redlands to Big Bear.  We rode to Carpinteria 
and back through Foothill.  Although I was still sore and tired from the day before, He kept saying ‘You’ll be fine’.  I had a hard time keeping up but Scott would always slow down and let me catch up.  A year later we rode out to Goleta through UCSB to Hope Ranch down to the coast to the 4 Seasons up to the Mission and back to the house.  Of course, again I could barely keep up. At the end of the ride he said, ‘See You’re Fine’. Thank You Scott

So...just got home from work. Picked up the grunion gazette laying on the front porch. Sit down and start watching Magnum PI (the new version). 

open upped a IPA and my laptop. Then I started reading the Grunion Gazette. I see the obituary for Scott Cruikshank. 

I start to think about Jefferson Jr HS. I remember that we used to have quite a few classes together. 

I think of Mr Rudman’s advanced science research class
I think of Ms  McGraw (?? Not sure of name of teacher) advanced English class

for some reason I associate billy wagstaff, Jonh Waner, Ralph seimen with Scott 

I think I remember him wearing levi cords and desert boots 

I remember as a young teenager my impression of them is “wows these guys are smart”
I also remember thinking that they also were non judgmental. 
it was no surprise to find out that Scott was a biostatistician and researcher that had many accomplishments attributed to him

just wanted the family to know my recollections of Scott and offer my condolences
