Happy Star Trek Day to All!

Star Trek the TV show had the first episode aired on September 8, 1966. In El Paso, TX where I lived as a kid the show was on all the time. I didn’t know until later-on that Gene Roddenberry the creator was from El Paso and used to shop at the mall by my house. This is why I still have Star Trek dolls around my room to this day.

*Note: I was just rewatching the Heroes TV show and noticed how many Star Trek characters were in Heroes including George Takei. Strange how some people have the career of 50 people.
