He was invited to return to Fryeburg Academy and he fulfilled his dream in the school and town he had grown to love. Scott had a 61-year relationship with the Academy and was grateful for each and every year, and all the beautiful relationships he fostered with students, parents, faculty, staff and the town’s people.
