Is this the same Jerry Scott married to Debbie Van Derhoof? They are related to my pastor ....I think they may be in Texas

The year:  1990  (YES!!! I actually have the day and month too!!)

The scenario:  The Scott's leave HAC and FBCH.  Why?  They never said, but we all know why.  While they waited for a place to transition, they came to Liberty Baptist in Lake Station.  Unbeknownst to the Scott's (and to the rest of us at the time), they left the frying pan and jumped into the fire.  But when they first arrived, we were all happy little campers.  Jerry just wanted a place to serve and Beith was willing to have him.  Jerry was asked to teach a class on soul winning.  I attended the first one and realized this was a golden opportunity to get out the 'ol recorder.  Sadly, I did not tape the first class, and there are some dates that are missing in the series.  I don't remember if we had no class or if I was just not there for some reason.

Anyway, I always enjoyed Jerry's 10-cup-of-coffee hyper personality.  Didn't know him at HAC, but his wife was our daughters kindergarten teacher.  I must give Jerry credit for at least one thing:  When it "hit the fan" at Liberty he never said a word.  Plus he never said a negative word about Hyles or anyone from HAC.  When the time came they just quietly left (I can see the pastors face, from a church in one of the Carolina's that had a large military ministry) to go serve.

So....enjoy these if you want.  I'll post all of them over time.  I hope you are downloading all the archived material I'm posting here for future generations.  Your great-grandchildren will want to know what a real HACker was....back in the day.

Jerry came to Fayetteville, NC to Berean Baptist where Steve Byrd was pastor. We served together for the time he was in Fayetteville and became best of friends. We discussed at length the goings on at FBC and HAC. The cover up of Dave's activities became too much for him to stomach and so moved on. He serves with Brad Strand in Texas, close to Garland. Miss him and hated to see him leave NC. The situation in Fayetteville became too much to stomach as well.
 
Mrs.Scott was my 2nd grade teacher.  Bro. Jerry was very athletic, and used to have activities for the fbc grade schoolers.  He's in my top ten favorite memories of childhood.

This was 1980.  That was 33 years ago.  Going back to the mirror to count my gray hairs, now.

I'm sorry about that, too.  Loved Jerry Scott.  He had a wonderful mix of humor with serious that I never saw in anyone else.  He could be very intense, and yet you felt like smiling because he was enjoying himself; or, he could be very funny, but you still caught that "important purpose" underlying everything he did.

We were playing intramural ball, and it was my at bat.  Bro. Scott was umpire.  The pitcher was good ... real good, and I knew I wasn't much of a hitter.  All I needed was to get on base, not one out of the park, just to get on base.  It was a full count, and I thought that I needed some kind of edge, some way to get the pitcher off his stride so I could get a walk.  So in his wind up, I shouted with my best preaching voice, "Hey PITCHER!  Did anyone ever tell you that your nose looks like a fresh, green BOOGER!"  It worked.  The pitcher cracked up and threw it wide out of the strike zone.  I had just set the bat down and was beginning my trot to first base when Bro. Scott regained his own composure, and in that exasperated hand waving way of his says, "Hey, wait a minute!  Come back here, we aren't doing that.  Don't you know this is a Christian college?!?  We cannot and will not allow things like that around here."  I'm like, "I'm just doing the best I can here, ump. I don't have any glasses and that's just the way it looked to me, thought he ought to know, public testimony and all."  I couldn't believe he made us do it over, but he seemed to enjoy it just a tad, too.

And he was a lot better at doing the Lone Ranger and other personalities in chapel skits.
