"Dear LuJean, Kathy, Scotty, and Glenda I recently drove to Fort Dodge to visit Dad and was saddened to learn of Dale?s passing. Please know of my heartfelt condolences and of my loving appreciation for Dale and for the many special memories I hold of you each. Indeed, the Scott Family is permanently etched within a very special corner in my heart, not diminished by the more than fifty years since sharing summers together. Dale was a kind, generous, fun, and talented man with a heart of gold. With love, Jim Brown"
