About
As I've mentioned so often before, the JDIFC is the MOSTEST! And I'm not just saying that because Jim is one of my personal favourites, but because it's absolutely true.Those of you who have been cajoled, bullied, sweet-talked and ordered to join JDIFC will know exactly what I mean! There is not a single person who has ever been disappointed and I think they'll all agree with me that waiting from one journal to the next is the most excrutiatingly horrible thing that could ever happen to a Star Trek fan! (Of course, the "speed" of the postal services makes things worse!) So,if you've never tried JDIFC, try it now: But I won't bet on it that you won't become as addicted as existing JDIFC-ers, cos that's a certainty! YOU WILL! Can you help yourself with Jim around? So,whether you're a Bill/Len/Jim or whatever nut, join JDIFC. There's something for everyone and a bit more besides.
The JDIFC Journal: if you've never seen the SIZE of one of these, then you've missed out on something! Every journal is as big as a yearbook, and packed solid from beginning to end with goodies. Star Trek stories, articles, newspaper cuttings, information, black and white photos of Scotty/Jim and, the most popular section of all; "Quizzing Jim." Jim answers every question you care to put to him, but don't expect a straight answer every time! He's got a great sense of humour and fun. You can almost see the Irish [1] twinkle in his eyes. He gives some great recipes too, providing. you can cook, of course! [2]
November/December 1968
James Doohan International Club Newsletter 1 was published in November/December 1968 and contains 6 pages.
- a letter from Doohan updating fans on personal and professional news (one example: "This coming season on STAR TREK, you will see Scotty with two different hair styles. The first eight shows we shot I combed it back in an attempt to keep it looking the same from shot to shot and show to show. However, the Executive Producer, Gene Roddenberry thought it softened my "Scotty look" and sent me to Sebring's to get a special cut. I must confess I had misgivings about it all, but they disappeared by the time the Sebring people were through with me. So, the latter part of the STAR TREK season will see me with a rather "mod" haircut.")

There's clippings, photos, con reports, and Scotty-type poetry and fiction, plus penpals and movie news. Lots and lots to read. A must for all Jimmy Doohan/Scotty fans. [4]

Reactions and Reviews: February 1986
...a fabulous cover by Cami Forsell. This is the last Journal of the J.D.I.F.C. - a club that was more like a family with an amazing rapall [sic] between fan and actor. Anna, its president for nineteen years is retiring and moving on to enjoy her retirement by travelling and doing all the things keeping up a fan club has kept her from all these years.As a fan club it was unique and will be sorely missed.
As usual, the Journal contained question to James Doohan and Wende, penpals, photos, articles, clippings, fiction and poetry. All enjoyable - though sadly read this time. [6]
