A Star On The Walk Of Fame For Scotty
I just learned from BB postings that 'Scotty' does not have a star on the walk of fame in Ca.
There is a campaign to raise money for the star as the recipient pays for it (what a gyp) anyway thought I'd pass this on so that we may spread the word and get this deed done! http://www.scottysstar.com/ explains the situation http://www.williamshatner.com/module...t=8068&start=0 is the bulletin board page where the topic is raised and discussed scifibiz@msn.com is the pay pal account if you utilize their services

Nah, I'd never sue you. Besides I love your location and your sense of what it's all about.

SCOTTY TO "BOLDLY GO" NEXT YEAR
Doohan's Ashes to Be Launched Next Year
From Associated Press November 15, 2005 11:19 AM EST TORONTO - When Scotty's ashes head for orbit next year, his fans can send their best wishes along for the ride. James Doohan, who played chief engineer Montgomery Scott of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and subsequent movies, died at his Redmond, Wash., home in July at age 85. The Vancouver, British Columbia-born actor had told relatives he wanted his ashes blasted into outer space, as was done for "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry. Some of Doohan's ashes will be launched some time in February or March from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base, said Susan Schonfeld, a spokeswoman for Houston-based Space Services Inc., which has been arranging memorial space flights for several years. Details will be posted online at http://www.spaceservicesinc.com - where Scotty's fans can also post a few words of tribute that will be digitized and sent up as part of the Falcon 1 rocket's payload. Some fans have already done so. "Thanks for exploring the final frontier and inspiring many others," wrote Philippe Drouin of Montreal. "You were an incredibly talented man," wrote Kevin Gordon of Denver. "I wish we could see you in action one more time." Doohan's widow, Wende, has invited fans to attend the launch and the memorial service that will take place the day before. "I can't think of a more fitting send-off than having some of his fans attend this, his final journey," she wrote. "For those who wish to attend the launch, you are more than welcome. And for those who can't, just look to the heavens on launch date and know that you are sharing a worldwide memorial for James (Scotty) Doohan." Also included in the Explorer launch capsule will be some remains of early "Star Trek" writer John Meredith Lucas, country singer-writer Randy Vanwarmer, who wrote for stars such as Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and some 170 others.
