I always liked Nurse Ogawa. She was a great and welcome presence in Sick Bay. Patti wasn't given a great deal, but she did well with what she was given.

Lora Johnson, author of Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, The Worlds of the Federation, and the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Journal, along with several novels and self-published Trek fan works, has passed away, as reported by Michael Okuda and others.
Lots of fan stuff. I'll have to see if I still have her 2001 plans some place. Very sad. Mr. Scott's Guide was one of my favorite things ever.
I've been hunting for a copy of that for years.
I'm sure it was the first in-universe Star Trek technical manual I ever read. Sad news.
This one hurts, man.
Without Lora's work specifically on Mr. Scott's Guide, I wouldn't have started tech drawing by the time I turned 10, which first inspired me to draw and understand the set plans of my favorite shows, which then led me down the path towards the artist I am today. She was hugely inspirational to me.
Me too. Such an amazingly talented artist. How sad…
Her influence and legacy will live on in all of us who embraced the tech side of the Trek universe.

I remember buying and reading Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise back in the day. Devoured the thing. Fabulous piece of work. Quite enjoyed The Worlds of the Federation, and the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Journal as well. I'm not really a Treknology guy, but all of those reached me.
Thank you and RIP.
Thank you and RIP.
I just ‘liked’ this post, but my intention was to post a sad face emoticon. Only I didn’t know how to do that.

Her books were a massive part of my childhood, I loved them to bits. I popped when I spotted a tiny reference in shield terminology from Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise on a display screen in Star Trek Into Darkness. I also loved more recently reading an old interview where she talked about her visit to the classic movie sets just after STIV wrapped revealing that the bar McCoy visits in III was a re-dress of sickbay which I somehow never spotted before. And that the dining booths in Mr Scott's Guide were actually part of the sets, presumably a holdover from Phase II but never seen.
I enjoy Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise and still frequently reference it. I am a great fan of Lora's work, especially taking inspiration from her TMP-E and TMP-E-A deck plans and cross-sections.And Matthew Perry (1969-2023) whose first role was in 1979, and who had a regular role in Boys will be Boys before he was 18.
There's a few missing from that list, like Anyssa Jones, Buffy on Family Affair. I haven't researched her birth and death dates.
Everyone before Kristoff St. John was older than I am.

When I was doing my deeper dive on Ancient Trek Tech (that Lora worked on or not) I was a little surprised to see Larry's name on some of it. The guy was there.

I hadn't realised he'd been in Voyager. But for some reason I remember him clearly from DS9. By weird coincidence Way of The Warrior is my next episode to watch.Obi Ndefo who played on DS9 and Voyager has passed away aged 51. R.I.P.
