April Fools, Mr Roddenberry!


















At the Premiere of Star Trek The Motion Picture, my wife and I met Ed and Kathy Porter, who coincidentally lived five blocks away. Ed and I crafted many a silly, ne'er-do-well thing, including writing a pseudo-news story concerning him and me guest-starring in the sequel to ST:TMP.










To show off and maybe get a reply, I sent the two "articles" and a letter to Gene Roddenberry at Paramount.

Imagine my surprise to get a reply. Yeah, it was a form letter, but also "personalized."
