I helped him beam groceries to his car several times when I worked at the Redmond Safeway....he was a very nice and funny man.

Dan Hirata and I got retarded drunk at his house once. He was out of town until the next day and his son threw a party. Everyone was taking misc drugs and drinking heavily.
I thought I lost my cell phone at their house, so I went back the next day and Scotty's wife beamed me through their front gate so I could ask Scotty's son (whom I didn't even know) if I had left my cell phone. As I made my final approach to their house through the driveway, I noticed that Scotty was driving around a Bobcat TM in their yard, apparently trying to get some long needed work done.
Scotty's son didn't find my cell but it turned up a few days later in someones couch coushin. I'm horrible with cell phones.
RIP James

Wow, those inter-gate beamings can be dangerous. Good thing you made it through ok. You could have had your molecules completely rearranged.
