61: Kirk

Scott Veazie crafted a full-size replica of the captain's chair from the original "Star Trek" series and placed it in his living room.

A lot of the best stuff in a story never makes it into the paper. But I'm glad this paragraph did:

Mr. Veazie, a manager at Underwriters Laboratories, built the chair himself last year, and has been gratified to find, since installing it in the living room in May, that “when someone comes in, it’s the first thing they comment on.”
