Lunch was interesting today. I was recognized. Not the actress who plays me, but
me, Beverly Crusher. Some very nice young ladies approached me as I was leaving the shopping center where I had bought my salad, and were really very nice. I understand that there are some fans who aren't, so I clearly got the better bargain. But the best part, by far, was one of them -- her name was Samantha -- told me that I had been such an influence on her when she was a child that she had gone into medicine because of me. She's a nurse, and she's planning on returning to medical school this fall, to become a pediatrician.
That I can have such influence over young women is humbling and wonderful.
