Eric, Adam & I Attend Trekonderoga in Ticonderoga, New York

Our son, Adam, bought tickets to Trekonderoga in Ticonderoga, New York.  This is the first Star Trek event in Northern New York.

Dennis shares "behind the scenes" stories of Star Trek: New Voyages.  Nothing about creating an episode is easy, but the cast and crew have lots of fun.

Our next stop was
Ticonderoga High
School.




Sally Kellerman talked about
 her character,  Dr. Elizabeth
 Dehner & her experiences
 filming  Where No Man
 Has Gone Before.








The contact lenses were miserably uncomfortable.  Sally feels the pants she wore for the episode didn't flatter her.

She is a wry wit and so much to share.

It was a great family day experience.  Adam grew up playing with different versions of the U.S.S. Enterprise, including one Eric made out of balsa wood.

I hope Eric & I will be are around to attend any upcoming Star Trek conferences in Ticonderoga.
