Couldn't resist posting this little nugget for all you Vikings and Packers fans...
I am preparing to enjoy what I'm quite sure will be an unprecedented 6th Super Bowl victory for my beloved Steelers. Having cheered them on each fall for the past 34 years, it's fun to have this happen every so often.

G. Scot Catto
Lost a friend this week. Laurie worked in theater with their middle son Sean, Patrick played ball with their youngest Clai. I talked with Scot each week at Rotary - it's hard to lose someone so suddenly.
The distant sound of the Great Bagpiper has called Guy Scot Catto home.
Guy Scot Catto, of Menomonie, unexpectedly passed away Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009, one day before celebrating his 32nd wedding anniversary.
Scot was born Feb. 4, 1950, to M.W. “Scotty” and Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Bishop Catto, in
A devoted father, Scot nurtured three wonderful sons — Chris, Sean and Clai. Throughout the course of their lives, Scot never missed any of their sporting or academic events. Scot passed on his love of the outdoors to his “boys” from shooting, hunting, skiing, tennis and golf.
Perhaps most synonymous with Scot was his love for the Scottish Highland bagpipes. A member of Chippewa Valley Pipes and Drums for more than 10 years, he competed with the band and in numerous solo competitions. His poetic mastery of the pipes could be heard in any number of weddings, funerals and festivals.
His philanthropic ways spread quietly throughout the Menomonie community. A servant on numerous community boards, Scot’s influence helped further Menomonie and her citizens. Scot was a devoted member of Grace Episcopal Church’s family. The Rotary Club, UW-Stout Foundation and the Greater Menomonie Health Board are just a few of the foundations Scot served over the years. His dedication to these organizations brought honor upon himself and his family, and reflected great credit upon his community.
Scot was very proud to be an American. His patriotic love of country was the foundation of who he was, and his quiet, humble and steady ways earned him unprecedented respect by his family and friends.
Scot is survived by his mother, Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Catto of
His father, M.W. “Scotty” Catto, preceded him in death.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 12, at Grace Episcopal Church (
The family suggests memorials to Grace Episcopal Church or charity of donor’s choice in Scot’s name.
