[RIP] Majel Barrett


Majel Barrett died this week.

For the two people out there that do not know who she was, she was Nurse Chapel on the original Star Trek TV series. More than that, if you close your eyes and imagine what a computer would sound like if it could talk it would be her voice you would hear.

I met Ms. Barrett at my first SciFi convention at the University of South Alabama in 1982.

She was talking about the pilot episode called "The Cage" where she was the first officer Number 1. It was later that she was re-cast as the ships nurse.

--Rest in Peace Majel. Say hi to Gene for us.
