and I thought i was a Star Trek nerd in good standing...

"...thousands of Allied troops land in Normandy... Among them is a young Canadian, James Doohan, who loses a finger that evening when a nervous comrade accidentally machine-guns him. Doohan goes on to become an actor and has an important role in a certain sci-fi series you might have heard of. Look closely during certain Star Trek episodes, such as "The Trouble With Tribbles," and you'll see that Scotty is missing his middle finger.

@northernbassist my mom (who retired a couple of weeks ago, coincidentally) taught Doohan’s kids before I was around. She says he was quite humble and had a dry sense of humor about stuff.

I’m quite jelly as I never got to meet him.

@Smersh @northernbassist He was super cool. He did a convention in this area and hung out with fans at my (now) husband's house for a couple hours. By all reports he was a great guy.
