As for the museum, itself, I can only hope that they will work it out so that they can have a wheelchair accessible entrance to the museum . . . at least, at some point.
My brother just emailed this photo to me -- it is a model of the Enterprise displayed at San Diego's ComicCon. I asked him who owns this, and he said that he heard that one was supposedly given to J.J. Abrams, and the other belongs to The FX Company…
I am also quite stunned by Lesley's/Casey's passing. I never met her face-to-face, but had a couple of email exchanges with her. Could tell that she was having a rough time, and now I feel really guilty for not talking with her more than I did. I ca…
Dwight Schultz?!!
Wow!! I really like him, both as "Reginald Barclay" and as "H. M. Murdock"!! Sure would have loved the chance to meet him, *Sigh*. Did you have the chance to speak with him?
You have had conventions at The Thistle before? Cool! Is there a website with information about the previous conventions?
*Whew* I can well imagine that the costs would be painful . . .
That's great that you and Janet have the means to organize and put on this convention, Bob! I have some idea of what's involved in doing a small science fiction convention, actually (long story), so I admire you two for being willing to do it. There…
Just wanted to let you folks know that I told my husband about the upcoming Constellation 2010, and he is interested! Yay!
So, I am looking forward to coming and meeting as many of you folks as is possible!
I am an American married to a Scot and living in Glasgow. I am originally from North Carolina; born in Greensboro and was living in Chapel Hill (a fan of the UNC-Chapel Hill Tar Heels for 40 years) before moving to Scotland. My husband and I are both Star Trek fans. I have been a fan since TOS, which my family watched on tv faithfully back in the '60's. We have TOS, TNG, Voyager, and all the movies (except #5) on dvd.
It is my sad Duty to inform you that your Trekspace Friend, Casey (Lesley Richardson) passed away suddenly this morning.,
Lesley may be known to you as a member of the Away Team and Contagion Committees. They were responsible for bringing Star Trek Conventions to Scotland.
Hi Judy! I could tell by your pictures that Inca definitely gets to travel! He looks like he really loves it :D
Loch Lomond really sounds familiar - I am wondering if I did get to go there... I know I got to see Loch Ness and the castle (I did not see the monster - yet), and Inverary Castle & jail museum, Cawdor Castle & gardens, Edinburgh Castle, Glasgow City... I got to travel around quite a bit by train. I stayed in a small town called Fortrose near Inverness. I was right down the road from the Rosemarkie Lighthouse, which I would walk to almost every evening and watch the dolphins play in the water - those are some of the fondest memories of my life.
I bet the weather there is great right now, and the hills are so green. I hope you and your husband and Inca are enjoying it, and get to travel some more! I really love all your pictures!
Hi, Judy!
American--yes! But I fell over a heap of wacky spacers telling lies and drinking bloodwine and asked for a nip--and snuck on board when everyone was looking! What a wonderful and wacky crew. I am proud to uh.... whatever:-)
I've never been to Scotland, but suspect it would feel very right. My father's family is native to --I think tI got this right--a town called Lomas. They tell me I'd find a raft of folks with my nose there....
Seriously, your photos are beautiful!
Thanks for the friendship Mrs. Judy! Your pictures are absolutely breathtaking - I went to Scotland as an exchange student for 6 wks one summer... what an amazing experience!
I forgot to mention that Kevin the club`s XO hangs around here every now and then.
You can`t miss him, he has a Klingon persona and that is General Zenkura Joh Karastai.
He`s a diamond of a guy with a big heart that would be delighted to hear from you.
Yes there is Judy.
It`s called USS Valiant and is run by a guy called David Wharton.

HELLO!
Difficult news... when I called Monday to reserve my vendors table I was informed they were sold out last Friday!
So regrettably, I can not attend as a Vendor this time. I am #1 on the waiting list, should a vendor cancel. But I am informed…
