Scott Guild Memorial Fund

Born in Wyoming in 1955, Scott graduated from UC Davis in 1978 with a degree in animal science and came to Humboldt County to work as a ranch hand in Ferndale. There he met Linda and together they moved to the Russ Ranch on Snow Camp Road. Later, Scott took classes at HSU to sit for the CPA exam and went on to work at Aalfs, Evans & Company for many years, including 24 as a partner. Most important in Scott's life were his children Rogan and Katelyn. He raised them with the values he lived by: honesty, integrity, and a strong work ethic. Scott coached T-ball and basketball, and he was a member of the Rotary Club of Eureka and the Freshwater School Board of Trustees. Scott was a lecturer at HSU and was pursuing a master's degree in order to teach full time. This scholarship supports students pursuing an accounting degree. (2014)
