Another person who made my childhood special has died this week.
I've watched Star Trek since I was little, even before I started
Kindergarten in 1969. I grew up watching James Doohan play Mr. Montgomery Scott (a.k.a. "Scotty") on TV. Today he passed away.
It was in 1983 when I attended my very first Star Trek convention right
here in Boston. James Doohan was the special guest. I was a
freshman at Emerson College. I was overwhelmed because it was my
first time. I enjoyed his lecture to us and the Q&A session
that followed. He was very nice.
I saw him at several more conventions over the years and finally met
him in 1992. I shook his hand, took his picture and received his
autograph. A true gentleman.
He'll be greatly missed everywhere.
