Obituary: Scott W. Reed, 87
Scott White Reed, 87, passed away May 2, 2015, looking out at Tubbs, the hill he dedicated his career to save. Scott practiced law in Coeur d'Alene for 60 years. He became one of the West's leading experts in environmental and water law, and one of Idaho's greatest troublemakers. With Art Manley, he helped save the land for what is now McEuen Park. Together, they led a successful campaign to preserve Tubbs Hill. He waged a landmark environmental battle to prevent the interstate highway from gutting historic downtown Wallace. He won a settlement to create the Centennial Trail bike and pedestrian path at Higgens Point. He led a 30-year crusade to keep Sanders Beach open to the public. Scott spent two years as Assistant U.S. Attorney in Boise. Over his career he argued more than 60 cases before the Idaho Supreme Court/Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
