In Memory of Majel Barrett- Roddenberry
I have the privileged in meeting her at my second Grand Slam science fiction Star Trek convention in the late 1990s. Majel was graceful and friendly. I will always remember her in her shock at me having a Deforest Kelly (doctor in Star Trek: The Original Series) signature on a crew picture. With her, I was able to complete my quest in getting all the crew signatures of Star Trek: TOS. Am sorry to hear her gone - Jeffrey Lu |
