My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Walter Koenig passed away peacefully last night. 😔 Here he is, looking back at the Captain in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield". A familiar shot, as it's stock footage used in several #StarTrek episodes. We'll salute him on our next #StarTrek night and watch a Chekov episode in his honor! 🖖

Have a white car? Listen to Bill Murray and turn it into a Ghostbusters Ectomobile. 👻🚫 “I think if you have a white car and you don’t put the Ghostbusters insignia on it, you’re just missing a real opportunity. I think you’d make better time in traffic with that thing on there.”
