I am a long time Star Trek fan, was one of the founders of the USS Gallant 1869. I was part of Starfleet until 1996. I left because I did not like how the new look would fit with me. I started in 1982 under Eric Stillwell, then I went to the USS Defiance. I had the Rank of Radm Adm at that time. I then formed the USS Gallant 1869 as an independant club, giving the members what was need to become part of Starfleet. When that happend in 1987, it was my FlagShip. I was the Chief of Operations in Region 4 under Vice Admiral Janis Moore, and then moved to the Region 4 Jag Postion. A new RC and changes at Fleet level, which I was not too trilled about, led me to make the decision to resign. In the here and now, I worked in Industrial and Medical Gases. I retired in 2003. I married in 2001, but she died of cancer in 2020.
