Scott Anderson is teaching his last class with Vital as I write. I tried to make it, but was caught in rush hour traffic after dropping Lee at the airport. And I’m sad to have missed it! Scott’s been a gift to Vital, and has helped us grow our community, in a diverse and creative manner, in a way only Scott Anderson could.
We send him off to open his own studio with blessings for great success and gratitude! He is a truly unique instructor with an independent perspective, a gift for teaching, and a desire to make a difference in his student’s lives. We feel fortunate to call him a friend, an inspiration, and will miss his irreverent humor-a lot!
Thank you, Scotto! Thanks for the years of service, your dedication …
