Reply #48: LA bus and George Takei

[snort]

1979 it were. I was riding west on a city bus down wilshire blvd. at mid-afternoon so there were maybe 6 people on that bus. Damned if Mr. Sulu didn't climb aboard take a look around and then sit down next to me! There were tons of empty benches so when this guy sat down next to me at first I was irked and then after staring at him for about 10 seconds it dawned on me who he was. It was confirmed when I saw him holding a SAG envelope with his name on it. I'm not sure why George sat down next to me but I am glad he did as Mr. Sulu was a character on a tv show that I watched as a kid in the sixties gape jawed. Thanks George!
