Scotty Says Good-bye

This weekend marks a sad farewell. Actor James Doohan, who played Scotty on Star Trek will make his last appearance at a Star Trek Convention, aptly titled "Beam Me Up, Scotty...One Last Time". He was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and has decided that it is time to retire from public life. On the up side, Doohan is going to be joined at this weekend's convention by all of the living cast members of the original Star Trek series, so he is going out with a bang. Doohan will also be honored on Tuesday when he receives a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Thanks for 40 great years of Star Trek James.
