A Sad Day for Star Trek Fans

Post by Boomerang »

As a Star Trek fan i have some sad news to report today. I know there are other fans here who may not have heard yet. This morning the first lady of Star Trel Majel Barrett Rodenberry passed away at age 76 of complicaqtions from leukemia. She is the widow of late Star Trek Creator Gener Roddenberry. She has also had a role in every Star trek series though some in voice only and several of the films including the upcoming film. She was always gracious to the fans and helped to cary on her husband's legacy after his death in 1991.

A sad day indeed. May she rest in peace. I never noticed she was Dr. Chapel though - I should have known this - now I will have to go back and watch some original Star Trek.

Thanks for letting us know.
