Scott Bridge Company

In 1965, the Scott Company changed its name to Scott Bridge Company, Inc., and I. J. Scott, Jr. served as secretary-treasurer. Although "Cap'n Jud" officially retired in 1975, he still came to the office daily. He loved conversations about bridge building, politics, the economy or anything else you could think to talk about. He was a Democratic Elector to two National Conventions in 1964 and 1968. After the Supreme Court threw prayer and the Ten Commandments out of public schools, Cap'n Jud founded Scott Preparatory School, which later became Lee-Scott Academy, one of the leading independent schools in the State of Alabama today.
