Rest In Peace, James Doohan

Sad news, as this morning, James Doohan died. He was most famous, of course, for being a graduate from SCITS (my highschool), and second most famous for playing the part of Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the original Star Trek series and movies.

Below is the picture from when I got to meet Mr. Doohan at the SCITS 75th Anniversary back in 1997. He was the guest of honour and I was a guy in the concert band. My buddy Joe and I saw him walk out of the auditorium during some down time on the weekend and we took the chance to run out to the hall to meet him and get some pictures taken. Good times. Rest in peace, Mr. Doohan.
