Scott grew up in Rosedale Park …  Ed’s Party Store, June Day parades, Nugent’s extreme guitar feedback heard while walking home from Cooke School, winter outdoor skating at the Rosedale community house shanties, and the many many late night Bouys’ band practices at Paul and Tom’s homes. The A & W on Schoolcraft Road nourished us while we sorted out the chords and words for the songs.

​

Early in life Scott played first base for the Sno-White Sparks in the Rosedale Park little league baseball team, moving up to the Huntington Funeral Home Trojans team and playing away games at Stoepel park. He then played goalie for the Northwest Detroit Pee Wee hockey team. But with a hockey-injured broken left arm, Scott began playing drums with the Bouys band in the summer of 1965, just prior to beginning high school at St. Marys of Redford. Those four years with the Bouys allowed Scott to rub elbows with other musicians and bands at clubs across lower Michigan. 

 

After the Bouys, Scott went on to open Tabatha Coffee House with Buster Paterni. He attended Northern Michigan University where he staged experimental theatre - Halcyon Birds, The Laughing Man and Salome, and produced multiple concerts. In Marquette, Scott founded the Church Theatre, The NMU Whole Earth Experience Series, The Lake Superior Children’s Center and eventually, the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum. 

 

Scott managed the "Marquette V.D. Clinic" sports teams for many years. The V.D. Clinic hockey and softball teams were credited with reducing area infection rates over two decades and the name and logo produced tons of laughter in rinks and ball fields across central Upper Peninsula.

 

Scott went to graduate school at NMU and WSU. He served as a school specialist in gifted and talented education, director for the central U.P. area school interactive video distance learning network, and capped his career as director of curriculum at Howard University Medical School in Washington, D.C.

 

Scott’s life now revolves around his four children and two step-children - Seabrook, Serene, Sonya, Khyler, Ariel and Kyra as well as his Grandchildren Olivia, Charlotte, Dominic, Gavin, Jax, Sky and Jayce.  Over the years Scott coached many junior hockey and little league baseball teams.

 

Scott’s enjoys his upper peninsula of Michigan AuTrain log cottage, motorcycling, drumming, golf and his classic cars - Triumph TR4, Ford Model A and Country Squire Wagon. He continues to play senior hockey in Maryland’s Geri-hatricks league and enjoys attending Tampa Bay Lightning home games.

 

The dream of this Bouys reunion was seeded by Jeff Floyd, along with Scott, Ron and Carnel Mickey, in the spring of 2018. All of the band members continue to be a source of pride, friendship and trust for each other.
