I believe that Jimmy, (Sotty), and Dee, (Doc McCoy), are both
about the same age, within a few months.  They are the oldest.
Shater and Nimoy are also pushing the mid 60's I believe.  The
others the mid to later 50's and early 60's if I recollect.
This off the top of my head cause I haven't seen the age chart
in a while.
They are getting a little to old to be believeable as active
Starfleet Officers except possibly Chekov and Sulu, then they
might be close to the end of their space faring days and ready
to fly a desk somewhere.  IMHO we've seen the last of the TOS
crew in space.

assistant: On (24 Aug 97) Peter Schuller wrote to Bill Nichols...
   I believe he's referring to the 2nd season ep "The Lonely Among Us."
Just before Riker and Worf beam over to the "Yamato," Riker addresses
the Xporter operator, played by Colm Meany, as "Lieutenant."  However,
at that time O'Brien hadn't yet been named, he was simply the "extra of
the week," just as he was in EaF as "Con."  So wether or not Riker was
addressing "O'Brien" or simply an unnamed Xporter operator played by
Colm Meany is a bit nebulous.
   RETro-active CONtinuity.  i.e. Jimbo's tombstone in TOS"Where No Man
Has Gone Before" said "James R. Kirk," yet he has referred to himself as
"James T. Kirk" on numerous occasions since, therefore the T is assumed
to be correct and the R was "never really there."  Oh well...
