realpsycho:ncc-1907: redshana: sjflkansdfljaslsd-deactivated20: whats-a-leonard-nimoy: “I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note. So I called her, and I said, “Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek.” I said, “I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there.” I saw her — boy, I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn’t going to the right people. I said to her, “I’m doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis.” And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her. And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address. Eight years later, I get a letter saying, “I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master’s degree in electronic engineering.” That’s…to me, the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I cry every time. The look on his face in the last one. He is just glowing he is so proud. You never know how you can help someone. -- source link
