Never seen so many people geeking out to a man in his 80s buying eggs... RIP Mr. Scott "Keyboard. How quaint." _________________________ Brian H.

Ladmo addict Registered: 04/09/2004 Posts: 525 Loc: Oklahoma	I was fortunate to have met "Scotty" once. I had quite a conversation with him, and, it seems, he was not fond of Bill. But then, I don't think many of the cast were overly fond of Bill. I will miss him greatly...If you have not had a chance to read his book, you should. But be warned, read it to learn of the man, not of Star Trek. Farewel my friend, we will keep the crystals fresh.

If his Alzheimer's was getting bad, hard to have much enthusiasm for 86 or 87, though. I saw a longer bio on CNN. I didn't know much about his real life, but very interesting. And just saw the note about his ashes. I think if I had the money for some final extravagance, that would be it. _________________________ Jim 'Tis the exceptional fellow who lies awake at night thinking of his successes.
