James Doohan

‘Star Trek’ star James Doohan dies, from AP

A moment of silence, please. And bagpipes, of course.

I actually have a personalized autograph from Doohan, “To Jeff” and everything. My dad got it at a conference back in the ’70s sometime where Doohan was a guest speaker. (Bad librarian: I really should know the provenance.) I guess I’d better take good care of it!
