S. Buford Scott

ince the day Buford joined the Board of the American Civil War Center in 2008, he was an impactful, yet quiet, leader. When Buford leaned forward and lightly raised his hand, saying, “Excuse me Mr. Chair,” the room would go silent and all heads would turn to hear the words of wisdom that were sure to come from this very wise man. And, true enough, no matter the topic or tone of the meeting, Buford had something positive and encouraging to say that was an important message for everyone to hear, and left lasting impressions on us individually and institutionally.

Buford was a tireless advocate on behalf of the museum. The weekly Monday morning meetings he held with the Foundation leadership team were instrumental in the Museum’s success. There is no doubt that Buford made more phone calls, had more meetings, and spentmore time in between Board meetings than just about anyone. His network of connections was the result of a lifetime of relationships made through his important work in the community. Sharing the progress and good news about each of them with others always brought a smile to his face. He will be sorely missed by the entire Board and Staff, and no doubt to all of those who were lucky enough to know him. T H E A M E R I C A N C I V I L WA R M U S E U M 2 9
