I guess nobody's gotten around to posting about the 10th year since De Kelley passed away. Yeah, on June 11, 1999, Bones got called to the big Enterprise in the sky. Makes me feel older just thinking about it.

10 years already... time flies, doesn't it.

It sure does. I can still remember the first Trek convention I went to after like 20 years. I've never seen a kinder or gentler person. If anyone deserved the praise for being in Star Trek, he certainly did. Not to mention all the roses he was given from nurses who chose that career because of what they saw in Ster Trek.

I remember Kelley telling a story (a long time ago), which two people working at a church hospital (or something like that) who got together and were very animated about what they were talking about.

The bishop or cardinal or whoever invited the pair for dinner, and both worried that he'd come down hard on something he'd consider trivial. While they were eating, the church person said that it was known throught the hospital that the two folks shared some kind of secret thing going on.

So he asked them right in the eye what they were up to.

When one of the pair dared to answer "Star Trek." The bishop shook his head and responded: "The first crew or the Next Generation?"

He's definitely missed.

I missed De Kelley as well, he was first major actor to leave us. RIP, but I think he would be proud our the current new STAR TREK MOVIE!!

I remember an interview with Kelley in which he'd describe the occasional medical practitioner that would ask for his autograph and tell him he was their inspiration for going into medicine. He'd autograph a photo of him with the line, 'From the reel McCoy to the real McCoy.' Classy guy

Ah, Kelley and Doohan were wonderful, weren't they? I doubt any other pair of actors had as much positive impact on the world (think of all the doctors, engineers of all varieties who have saved lives and made lives better) as those two.

Kelley is definitely someone I would have liked to have met also.

I really miss him, he was such an awesome person.
But he'll live on in the memories of all who admired and knew him

Has anyone else noticed at least one mannerism Kelley brought to the McCoy character? I've seen that when Bones is ready to take action (whatever that action is), he licks his lips. He did it in Amok Time, he did it in Friday's Child, and if you look for it, that's a sign that Bones is about to intervene.

The thing that still gets me about his performances is how he had Bones nailed from that very first scene in Corbomite.

It's like he'd been playing Bones for 40 years at that point
