A lover of Tulane, Schott played Defensive End for the Green Wave and was a starter for four years. He and his teammates took pride in the fact that Tulane beat LSU in the "battle for the rag" a few years after they were defeated by LSU. He graduated in 1968 with a B A in Economics and was commissioned as a First Lieutenant in the Army. During his tour of duty in Vietnam he piloted Chinook 47 transport helicopters in the Quartermaster Corps, flying in supplies and bringing back the wounded. Schott's experiences in Vietnam left a profound effect on his life. After the war he lived in New Orleans for many years and was known for his love of muffulettas, boiled crabs, gardening, cooking, music, "Jazz Fest" & bird watching. During his career, Schott enjoyed coaching football, outside sales, and working in the family business. He later retired to a quiet life in Amite City, LA.
