Gene Roddenberry
« on: October 24, 2013, 08:11:08 am »
Hello Shadow Fleet.

As some of you may know, 22 years ago today (Oct 24th). The man who brought Star Trek into the world, Gene Roddenberry sadly passed away.

I think it is fitting that we remember the man with a great vision of how the world, as in Earth, should be. All humanity allied with one goal in mind, to better ourselves.

I wonder if when he created the Universe we all love so much, If he realized what he was actually creating. Incidently Star Trek was created by Mr Roddenberry in 1964, nearly 50 years ago. Which as we know, ultimately led to the first series in 1966. The man was a legend and if it was not for him, it is more than probable none of us would ever have got the chance to do what we do.

So let's all remember the Father of Trek, who made our group possible. RIP Gene, your legacy lives on.

I actually think we should also remember the others who helped make Mr R's dream come to the screens, specifically the ones who are no longer with us.

DeForrest Kelley - Funny thing is I didn't like him (Dr McCoy) as a Kid, I thought he was an evil man who picked on the Alien guy. But obviously it was in reality the magic between Spock and McCoy, which I realized later. Dr McCoy is a one of the top of my favorites :)

And James Doohan, I always liked Scotty, I mean what was there not to like about the original red shirt and the only red shirt to die and come back, he was awesome.

I didn't know that Mr. Roddenberry's wife was a fan of Shadow Fleet. That is so awesome!
I also agree with Mr. Booth, we should remember the others who helped make Mr. Roddenberry's dream a reality.
