DeForest Kelley passed away in 1999. Still, every year, faithfully, Trek fans and western fans turn out in droves to extol the man’s virtues, excellence as an actor, and supreme wonderfulness as a human being, as well they should. The main reason I wrote DeForest Kelley Up Close and Personal, A Harvest[…]
