Sad to hear

I always liked Scotty, and I suspect he's the reason I have a thing for imitating celtic accents. Not well, perhaps, but bad imitation is the sincerest form of something.

I was glad to hear he was at Normandy - it's the kind of thing I always hope to hear about entertainment types. He risked his neck for his country, and I'm glad he had a succesful career afterwards.

I think this is the way I'll remember him best - probably around the time of Star Trek II. Not quite as overweight as in the later movies. He's got the look of a big, beefy, friendly Irish cop or fireman, and he looks like a good guy to be around.

Beam me up indeed.
