Heash was a fan who was the Master of Ceremonies at several Schuster Star Trek Conventions.

Hersh was the stage name for Steven L. (Lance) Hersh.

"Hersh got misspelled at college to "Heash" and hence the stage name. After hosting Star Trek Conventions for both Joan Winston's "Committee" and John Townsley's Tristar Industries." [1]

Fan Comments

Heash, our Master of Ceremonies, entertained us from the start (just to keep us off the chandeliers?) and continued to do so throughout the con. We welcomed his humor during all the waiting, even though us listened to the same comedy sketch three times. He does an excellent impression of Sulu and Scotty and a very satiric, even nasty, one of Kirk which temporarily put Heash on my blacklist. It was only temporarily because, a few minutes later, one gentleman with sexy eyes and an absolutely devastating mustache strode onto and across the stage. With a most singular and enchanting smile he endeared himself to me, phased out Capt. Kirk, and, I think, favourably impressed the others. Jimmy strolled out with Harlan Ellison to join Heash and Walter. I simply must credit Harlan for his sexy bod and confess that I only noticed it after an exclusive showing of Lori's slides. [2]
