Just a formatting note: The ISBN links should only include "ISBN", and not include the numbers, IMHO - I was expecting to see some information on the book when I clicked those, but was taken to the ISBN page.
Condolences, Memorials
- ( Though I *am* a Star Trek fan, it just breaks my heart to know that a man who was such an important part of a seminal contribution to human culture is losing his faculties. :(
It is sad, but now that he's died, I'm sure he's in heaven. I just wish we had an internet article relating to his death, so we could add that.Bedford
- You mean like these? --BradBeattie 16:51, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
- You'll note I finally found one to add. Bedford 12:21, 20 July 2005 (EST)
- A great man once said that ye cannae change the laws of physics. Well, Scotty, up there, you can. Have fun! Bryan Jones
- May he be a continual source of inspiration to all engineers, present and future. --Wombat
- RIP, Scotty -- ya gave her all she got, boyo!!!! (anon)
The dates don't seem to add up. It says married he was married for 28 years. From 1974-2005 should be at least 30 or 31 years right?
Copyright violations?
The edit performed by Fdewaele at 16:50, 20 July 2005 seems to have at least a couple portions that are copied directly from the Associated Press article about Doohan's death.
Here's a link to that article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050720/ap_on_en_tv/obit_doohan
The relevant portions are the discussion of Doohan's experiences on D-Day, and the discussion of his family history. -- Colden46 19:18, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Modern picture
Should we also add a more recent picture of him? Bedford 16:01, 20 July 2005 (EST)
