I know there are a few other Trek geeks out there. I thought it was interesting to note that he was a WWII Vet, a bomber engineer/copilot. We are losing these guys pretty quickly now these days, and anytime is a good time to honor them.
Matt Jeffries is now on his own Starship, bless him.

Jefferies tube
Traditional name for personnel access conduits aboard Federation starships, usually to allow hands-on contact to critical circuitry and serve as emergency access in times of power outage. In 2369, Lt. Cmdr. Nella Darren used a Jefferies Tube junction on the Galaxy-class Enterprise as a concert hall for its acoustics.

Not only are you a Tolkien dork, you're also a Trek dork! Then again, they do seem to go hand in hand. :)
