Star Trek inspired me to be a Writer. My love for the show will NEVER die! 😀

While I didn’t grow up a Trekkie, I did love The Next Generation! Captain Pickard was the ideal leader and the entire show represented the endless possibilities for us as a species.

I live within walking distance of Davies Symphony Hall. Having lived in SF for many years, The Star Trek spirit of adventure is with me each and every day. As I walk about my city by the bay and observe the passing parade of people I encounter – I think these very words….
“To explore strange new worlds.”
“To seek out new life and new civilizations.”
“To boldly go where no man has gone before!”.
Whoosh!!!!!

Star Trek is a window to a brighter future we could really have(*) if we could just learn to play nice! G.R. said:”In the future there will be no hunger and no greed and all the children will know how to read.” That sounds nice. Also it’s fun sci fi!

Star Trek is forever etched in my mind as the ’67-71 College Years- fighting my way to a seat in the women’s dorm lounge, to view the only TV in the whole place after a 3 hour Physics Lab! There is only one CAPTAIN of the Enterprise, and it will always be James T. Kirk. Live well and prosper❗️
