James Melvin Scott
James Melvin Scott (nicknamed Scotty, but also called Melvin and Jim) (1911–2001), an author, inventor, and Senior Olympian, was born in Wisdom, Missouri, on 28 May 1911, to James Baker Scott and Cordelia Susan Suiter. One of five children (one of whom died in infancy), he grew up in Fairfield, Missouri, seven miles south of Warsaw near Route 83. The town is now covered by water, which occurred in the early 1970s when the Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir began filling.
==Biography==
He taught for five years in a one-room schoolhouse in Wisdom, Missouri. He attended Teacher's College in Liberty, Missouri, for two years to earn his teaching credential.〔 He headed west in 1937, settling in San Diego two years later. One of his first jobs in San Diego was delivering milk door-to-door for Golden Arrow Dairy in a time when the milkman was part of daily life in America. In the late 1940s, while working for the dairy, he invented the Zip Whip—a device for whipping cream, which was featured in a book, ''The Eggbeater Chronicles''.〔Thornton, Don (1999). ''The Eggbeater Chronicles'' Thornton House. ISBN 0964124343〕 Scott switched from delivering milk to selling insurance and later became a real estate broker, which he continued doing well into his 80s.
