I wanted to make a page where people can share their memories of Trek. Anything and everything is welcome here…
I have a ton to sat about Trek. Where to begin. I remember when TNG first came out. I used to play it at school. Then I moved and in grade 6-8 middle school to you Americans I and a friend started a star Trek club at school. Then Paramount bought the amusement part Wonderland they did a whole Star Trek exhibit. They had props memorabilia and anything else a Trek fan could ask for. They even had a very hot Bajorin girl that was the cause of a geeks wet dream. Let’s just say it was a bit chilly that evening and certain signs were pointing. Lucky me got to ride in a roller coaster with her. They even had a back stabbing spy of a Romulan that took my friends and my idea. We were discussing that they should make Trek cookies and then a few months later out come Trek cookies. I have a picture of us beaming out somewhere. A few years latter in Toronto they had a three separate ever Trek exhibits. One at the Ontario Science Center. This exhibit had all sorts of technical details on how the props work. They had mock ups of the transporter the bridge and a few other things. Then it was off to the CN Tower for a seminar with the late and great Majel Barrett-Roddenberry. This was supposed to last an hour but being the wonderful person she was it lasted two and a half hours. She made sure she talked to all 100 of us lucky people and answer all our questions. Mine was how is Working on Trek now that tour husband is gone. Her reply was simple yet elegant. "it’s the same. The only difference is that there there is more being added to the family. The energy creativity and closeness with the cast and crew can still be felt. Gene presence is there and always will be there. Just before she wrapped up the seminar she showed us promotional material for the up coming Andromeda series. We were among the first public people to see this stuff. The whole room was awe inspired by this gracious act of hers. Then it was time for the meet and autograph session with her. Again she was an amazing host and tool time to ask your name and talk to you more before signing you an autograph. Again this picture is put away someplace safe. From here it was a mad dash to Ontario Place to watch Star Trek Generations on the Cinesphere screen. After the movie there was a seminar with Gates McFadden. Although this seminar was not as long as the first it was still amazing. Then again was autograph time. This picture is also tucked away for safe keeping. As you can see Trek has been a big part of my life and always will be. Heck I even like Star Trek the Motion Picture. It’s not slow it’s just not in warp speed like re rest. For. Now live long and prosper.
