<strong>RICHARD</strong> <strong>ALLEN</strong> <strong>SCOTT</strong><br />

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

1961<br />

In <strong>the</strong> Spring of 1961 I made<br />

my first effort at organized<br />

sports – softball, playing in<br />

<strong>the</strong> purple and yellow<br />

uniform of <strong>the</strong> Cosmos<br />

(same colours as my future<br />

High School). I was<br />

atrocious and got relegated<br />

to right field where I could do<br />

<strong>the</strong> least damage. I seem to<br />

recall that <strong>the</strong> coaches would<br />

yell “you’re not playing<br />

cricket”. Don’t remember<br />

getting a hit, and definitely<br />

not a home run. Pretty sad.<br />

This was <strong>the</strong> year I started using hair ‘products’ (known as ‘grease’ to <strong>the</strong><br />

boys). It gets worse.<br />
