The first time Fifth Judicial District Attorney Heidi McCollum mentioned donating her kidney to her old high school teacher, she said it so casually that Dave and Susan Scott weren’t sure she was serious.
The couple, both retired teachers who put in more than three decades at Eagle Valley High School in Gypsum, were hopeful — Dave Scott, 65, was in kidney failure and needed a living donor; he likely wouldn’t live through the five-to-seven year wait for a kidney from a deceased donor. She hadn’t. Instead, the 51-year-old attorney was undergoing a battery of tests to see if she was a compatible donor for Dave Scott, who’d for years taught with her father at Eagle Valley High. She’d never been Dave’s student, though she’d been in Susan’s classes and her brother was coached by Dave. As weeks passed, McCollum passed test after test.
