On The Radio WIth James "Scotty" Doohan: A Warm and Friendly Fellow
Actor James Doohan died today. Most people know him as "Scotty" from the original "Star Trek" television show and subsequential movies. But, Doohan also worked in Radio for quite some time earlier in his career appearing on some 4,000 programs in the U.S. and Canada. I had the opportunity to spend some time with James Doohan when I worked at Q94 (WRVQ-FM), Richmond, Virginia. He was a guest on my show one morning and this is how I described the experience in my book.
