They presented me this
belt buckle on my 138th birthday!
|
The first one
(convention) I did was 1972.

|
Fans of Star Trek wanted
to talk about Star Trek!
|
3,000 or 4,000 people
showed up!
|
|
|
|
They had to call the
fire department to let them in, in increments.

(De at his first
convention!)

My favorite fan letter,
I received ....
|
You turned me on so many
times, I thought I would return the favor.
|
|
|
|
I kept that
one!
|
We struck a note accord
with the youth of this country.

It was a little sad to
see De in Trekkies. He looked good here as it was filmed in
1997. I just think of how much we have lost when De passed
away in June, 1999.
De loved to tell stories
and no matter how many times he told a story, I would hang
on every word. De was a great story teller. It was nice to
hear him tell about the belt buckle and reliving the first
Star Trek convention.
What a funny fan letter
he received. De had a special way of telling stories. You
just wanted to snuggle up next to him and listen to his
stories. I truly miss him!

from Vietnam and the hippies.
