JOSEPH & LENORE SCOTT

All About Us

TOGETHER: We met while studying Egyptian hieroglyphic writing, and married on July 22nd at the end of the course. Celebrating our marriage on the 22nd of every month accounts for more than 556 anniversaries! 

We successfully collaborated in writing, designing, and illustrating 25 books and games produced by major publishers.  Subjects include Egyptian hieroglyphs, Shakespeare, boxed games, puzzle and quiz books, astrology, card reading and card games, plus magazine articles.

We have traveled to more than 126 countries.  Some trips include New Guinea, Borneo, The Marianas Islands, Senegal, Tunisia, Cyprus, Jordan, and Malta.  On our 30’ cabin cruiser we traveled 1000 miles round-trip from New York City to Ottawa via the Hudson River, the Erie and other canal systems.  Other cruises were from New York to Maine, Chesapeake Bay, and  Virginia.

In addition we have enjoyed a hot air balloon ride over Masai-Mara in Kenya, a dirigible flight in the New York area, glider at Elmira, helicopters, Air Force cargo and jet-refueling airplanes, traveled on the Concord (as courier), and rode on a NASA-mission flight from South Africa to Florida testing remote-control operation, with a 24-hour mid-Atlantic stopover at Ascension Island.
