About L. Scott Hancock

L. Scott Hancock was born in Pocatello and in early 1951 contracted what may have been Idaho’s first case of polio. An Idaho State University graduate, he crisscrossed America four times, and taught in New York and Arizona. Scott’s lifetime of work for disabled Americans included two gubernatorial appointments to state boards and a northern Idaho agency directorship. He owned a construction company for thirty-five years, retiring after the death of his wife to return home to southeastern Idaho. He’s a columnist for the Island Park News, with three books of his stories in print.
