I'm a second generation Trekker in both ways I've heard that term used. I supposedly "saw" my 1st episode of TOS at only 2 weeks old when my dad was walking the floor with me in 1972. My oldest distinct memory of Trek was Kirk creating a "gun" to shoot the Gorn. I am an avid reader, but I prefer the stand alone (old style) books to the current style. I am mostly into TOS, but love TNG, like DS9, and put up with Voy. I will read almost any genre book. I am part of a new group of fin that is just starting up an (SFI) ship.

I teach the computer lab for a Louisiana school with third through fifth grades. I am attending college, so have little free time. During the miniscule time I have, I march Sr. drum corps (DC Associates, DC International).
