James Doohan wasn’t just Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, he wasa Canadian who served his country and landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Then he turned to acting, was trained by Lorne Greene and even helped develop the Klingon language.
This is his story.

Latest reminder to not blame the messenger for the message. US average gas prices are up ~10cts/gal in the last week to $3.89/gal but average gross margin is barely 25cts/gal. Similarly, pump prices for diesel are ~$4.94/gal but retailers are victims, rather than beneficiaries.

July 14, 1913: Leslie Lynch King, Jr, is born in Omaha.

When he was still an infant, his parents were divorced, and his mother moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she married Gerald R. Ford, Sr., who adopted the boy and gave him his name.
