Tonight, I was watching a show on Amazon Prime “The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek” and near the end of episode 11, a person gives William Shatner a hug around 49:31 in the video. I did a double take as it was Brian McManus! I had forgotten he worked on Star Trek VI. It was amazing and sad/happy to see him even for a whole 3 seconds on my TV.

While he passed in 2016, he lived large and made a huge impact on everyone who knew him, helping people he loved and sometimes even strangers.

I quickly sent a text to his ex (the longest relationship he had that I know of) “Sandy”. She was his go to woman and he shared a good portion of his life with her. I didn’t expect an answer right away. She, however, had just sent a VHS tape with him to be digitized. The video was from winter of 1995. After playing the video I was floored. Both sad and happy along with gratitude for her sending it. She narrated and it was pretty funny!

The video is also included in the Photos II page.
