MEETS HIS IDOL

Leamington resident Karl Werner was able to cross another item off his bucket list a couple of weeks ago at the Niagara Comicon, boldly going where lots of others had gone before, when he met with lifelong idol William Shatner.

Karl said the meeting was great and Shatner was pleasant to converse with, even though a sheet of Plexiglas separated the pair.

Karl was hoping to ride ‘shotgun’ with Shatner on his next movie, but the star declined the invitation and said he couldn’t allow any cling-ons.

Karl said the line was long but it moved at warp speed and overall he was ‘beaming’ with joy.
