My Star Trek Memory.

In September of 1986, during my undergraduate studies, I met Gene Roddenberry.

He seemed more excited to give a brief speech than I was to hear him give a brief speech.

He let the cat out of the bag about a new Star Trek TV show to air in 1987.

The show would feature faster ships, cooler Klingons, and spandex (no more velour).

Gene Roddenberry lives rent free in my head.
