Jimmy Doohan gone

I would not be a true Trekkie if I did not acknowledge the passing of Jimmy Doohan, who will be forever known as Scotty - Mr Scott (or Lt Montgomerty Scott) from Star Trek. As far as I know, Doohan is the second of the cast of the original series to pass - after DeForest Kelley, who played Dr McCoy.

Ah, Star Trek! Perhaps some day I will post something about my experiences as a member of Enid's Star Trek club back in the 70's . . .

It was rather wrenching to read the headline about Doohan on NYTimes.com just now. I'm not looking forward to hearing about Shatner and Nimoy . . .
