Willard Scott lived in (retired in) my neck of the woods in rural Virgina (relatively close by). According to someone I knew, a younger person gave him accolades, and Willard, completely surprised, was thrilled, and grateful for the love. Once he had left NYC for the sticks, he hadn't gotten any recognition in some time. It made his day. I wish I could have met him.
