David Humphrey Scott founded Euclid Beach Park Nuts in mid-1989.

David was born on April 13, 1925 to Dudley and Louise Scott. Dudley Scott was Euclid Beach Park's chief engineer from 1908 until his death in 1938. The Scott family lived at the park as housing for year round park employees was available, so David was born and raised at Euclid Beach Park. When he was older he spent many hours with his dad checking the operation of the many motors used to run the roller coasters and other park rides. David went along with his dad at times to check the condition of the tracks on roller coasters. It was not all work for the son of the park's engineer or the children the other park employees who lived on the site, whom David refered to as "Beach Brats". They had the biggest playground in the world before and after the park closed for daily operation. Their "climbing gym" was the wood structures of the coasters. They would take their kid's wagons and roller skates to the top of the Flying Turns and ride them to the bottom. On hot summer nights David would sneak out of the house, find his way to the carrousel and sleep in one of the chariots. As he grew older he became a ride operator and for several seasons was assigned to the Flying Turns.

He served in World War II until 1946 the same year he met his wife Georgene to whom he was married for 47 years. Together they had seven children. 

The book, "Euclid Beach Park is Closed for the Season" showed that there was still a strong interest in Euclid Beach Park. David couldn't have been happier to see the interest renew. Using the films his father took at Euclid Beach and other amusement parks. David gave presentations in and around Cleveland and its suburbs to clubs and organizations, sharing his knowledge and memories of the park and received feedback from the audience of their memories. The Cleveland Health Museum (no longer in operation) had a Euclid Beach Park memorabilia show to which David was invited. During the show David was reunited with with former park employees, friends, and individuals with fond memories. A few of these people starting meeting monthly at David's house to share memories and learn more about the park. Is was soon decided to form a fan club. His daughter Mary Jo and daughter-in-law Judy said they would help as it was suggested that a newsletter be published. The girls thought that maybe they would see 200 or more sign on as members but 1000 became card carrying "Nuts".
