James Montgomery Doohan 1920-2005

| Readers 3

On a suitable anniversary too.. Once dubbed “the craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force”, James Doohan will forever be known as Scotty, Chief Engineer on the USS Enterprise – although his parents apparently lived in Belfast before emigrating to Canada a few months before his birth on March 3, 1920. The BBC reports here.. CNN obit here.. and StarTrek.com has much more on James Doohan’s life and career. and if my Gramma had wheels she’d be a wagon.. The Coalition remembers. Cheers Scotty.
