Tributes and Memories
Star Trek TOS- Last Male Officer With A Red Shirt- Scotty
(Tribute to James Doohan)
by Jeffrey Lu
He was the man
On and off the board
To engineer his own
Enterprise.
By stories told
In real life
Like World War II,
He jests and jokes among the fans and crew.
By voices,
The real Jim
Made the Klingon language
And voices of many (With one- a famous Scottish accent).
By passing,
Scotty was an actor
Who went beyond the realm of "red shirt" physics
And pass on to us- future engineers of space.
To the heavens-
Warp 7, Scotty.
