On this day in 1991 we lost Gene Roddenberry.
In the 8 years I knew him and was lucky enough to call him friend, I first knew him as the Legend, the man that created Star Trek. As time passed I got to know him as a real person. He was witty, friendly, smart, always interesting to talk with. He was somewhere in-between the two biographies written about him. I, we all, still miss him.
Honoring his memory is why Star Trek: Excalibur exists, we were one of the early "Fan Series" and the destruction of our sets was a set back that we are still recovering from. We are still moving forward, we will get to do what we set out to do in the beginning, honoring Gene and we thank him for giving us such a wonderful "Sandbox" to play in
Thank you Gene!
