Scott dedicated this program in 1985 to the memory of the skaters of the 1961 US skating team who were all lost in a tragic plane accident.

This number was originally choreographed by Scott for a show called "Liberty Weekend" on small ice. "My dad and everyone liked it so much that I kept working on it" He performed it at a show dedicated to the memory of the skaters lost in the 1961 crash.
Scott has had good success with this program in competitions. In 1986 he performed it as his artistic program at the World Professional Competition in Landover. He received all 10s for his performance, and won, taking back his title from Robin Cousins who had beat him the year before.

He also performed this program at the 1992 Diet Coke Professional Skating Competition. His moving performance brought the audience to their feet, resulted in all 10s from the judges and brought him from dead last (after a disappointing technical program) to win the competition.
