He married his college sweetheart, Gail (McGuire) Anderson, in August 1975. He graduated from the University of Maine (Orono) in 1973 with a degree in Elementary Education. His career was long and varied. First and foremost, he was a talented and caring teacher. Scott taught at Hawthorne School for 15 years and then at Coffin School for 23 years. He held part time or summer jobs at Livernois’ Market, Pejepscot Paper, L.L. Bean, Bowdoin College, Wolfe’s Neck Farm and Flowers Etc.

Scott was a lifelong dog lover and also leaves behind his faithful cocker spaniels, Charlie and Andy.
Scott was kind, quick witted, responsible, athletic, competitive, loyal and a whiz at trivia. His friends were many and his enemies nonexistent. He will be fiercely missed!

A true Celebration of Life will be held on June 7, from 1 – 4 p.m., at Bowdoin Alumni House at 83 Federal Street in Brunswick. All are welcome.
