Base Commander’s Log—October 08

Greetings, crew!

            I’d like to begin by personally welcoming aboard our newest member, Rick Fukano! Rick, it was wonderful to meet you at our last meeting and we hope to be spending more time with you over the holidays.

            I am so excited this month, because once again Addy Dave has planned so many events, we've crammed October and November chock full of fun!

            First of all, on October 11th many of the SBK members and friends are attending the Raise the Roof walk at Beech Acres Park to benefit Katie’s Kids and get a roof over the stables so they can ride all winter! A special commendation is noted for Second Officer Jan Popp, who raised a ton of money from sponsors for this event—sis, you ROCK!!

            Also, I just purchased our tickets for Starbase Indy this year AND concert tickets to see the Enterprise Blues Band that weekend—guys, they are SO great, and Vaughn Armstrong and Casey Biggs will both be attending this con—in addition to so many other stars like Garrett Wang, Anthony Montgomery, John DeLancie. We are going to have such a fabulous time!!

                        See you soon! Love you!
                        Addy J

New Star Trek Series?

submitted by Jan Popp

According to StarTrek.com, Bryan Fuller, who wrote for Deep Space Nine and Voyager, thinks it's time for a new TV series, and he would like to write for it! He feels TOS was “dynamic and passionate.” However, he thinks Kirk, Spock, and McCoy should stay in the movies.

"You wouldn't have to be on the same ship or have the same characters as the original 'Star Trek,'" explained Fuller, "but you could be in the same timeline and universe.”

He thinks Next Generation is “cooler and calmer” than TOS. He prefers Deep Space Nine because it was “emotionally complicated.” He thinks Enterprise was the most sterile when it should have been the most fun.
