for trekies like me

I just saw a bit of sad news: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081218/ap_en_ce/obit_roddenberry links to the article. Majel Barret Roddenberry who played Nurse Chapel, L'waxanna (spelling?) Troi, and gave voice to the computers on the Star Trek space fleet, died today.

She has been a part of every version of Star Trek, from the first pilot, to the most recent movie. She is as much or more of a Star Trek icon as anyone in the original cast, and I really enjoyed her recurring role as Deanna Troi's mother on Next Generation. I wish her family peace.

Oh my yes. And of leukemia too, which is quite an unforgiving disease. She will be missed and most fondly remembered.
