Two DeForest Kelley-related gigs happened to me this week: First, Jim Fossett with The Northern Kittitas County Tribune interviewed me about my association with De yesterday. He assembled a good piece that covers the evolution of my association with De. The newspaper has a 5000+ circulation. It will be published this coming[…]
The Enduring Legacy of DeForest Kelley: Actor, Healer, Friend DeForest Kelley was once asked how he would like to be remembered. He responded with a contrite laugh, “Well, you know, sometimes I wonder if they will remember! There‘s nothing deader than a dead actor… That‘s almost a question for someone else to answer.”[…]
I had almost forgotten how awesome the original Star Trek was. It has taken me this long following De’s passing–17 years!!–to feel capable of watching it again without “losing” De all over again…and I have no idea how long it was before that, that I watched an episode–probably decades!

I do my best to avoid talking about bad news here on this blog. But the tragedy in Orlando at The Pulse Nightclub is one of those things I simply cannot ignore. Over 300 people went to a nightclub to dance, interact and have a good time with other kindred spirits. 49 of them[…]

You Can Go Home Again After the DeForest Kelley Q & A Facebook gathering on Saturday, June 11th (the 17th anniversary of his passing), I decided to break out the remastered STAR TREK DVDs that Anne Richardson sent me years ago to watch “a couple” of my favorite episodes that featured Dr. McCoy prominently.[…]
With Hillary Rodham Clinton now (reportedly) “the presumptive nominee” of the Democratic Party establishment–a claim I find both precarious and presumptuous, since Bernie polls far better against so-called anti-establishment (HA HA HA!) Donald Trump than she does–I think it’s time for this idealistic, optimistic “reporter”–me!–to leap into the fray to console and remind the[…]
