Scotty Beams Up



The venerable James Doohan died today at the age of 85. He was a likable cuss, known to me only through watching Star Trek as a wee lad. The quote from the article found here sums him up, I think:


Once, at a convention of astronomers, James Doohan was asked what it felt like "to be beamed." The actor who'd abided by the order, "Beam me up, Scotty," countless times on the Star Trek set reported that it was "very pleasurable."


He was a class act! Fare thee well, Scotty!
