I was fortunate to have met "Scotty" once. I had quite a conversation with him, and, it seems, he was not fond of Bill. But then, I don't think many of the cast were overly fond of Bill.
I will miss him greatly...If you have not had a chance to read his book, you should. But be warned, read it to learn of the man, not of Star Trek.
Farewel my friend, we will keep the crystals fresh.
