September 8-10, 2006 – I clearly remember the day: September 8th, 1966. My father, brother and I sat on the couch in the living room, in front of a Sylvania B&W TV with a box of Mr. Salty pretzles. I was 12 years old. Vietnam was in full swing; no one had walked on the Moon. But we were about to be transported to a future in which Earthlings had evolved beyond war, and humanity roamed the galaxy with a smile and a shoeshine: The first episode of Star Trek was about to premier. From September 8th-10th, I’ll be a featured speaker the Star Trek 40th Anniversary Gala, to be held in Seattle, WA. Fellow guests and speakers will include Nichelle Nichols, Jason Alexander, George Takei, and many others. Click on the green text above for the link, and beam yourself into the Space Needle!
