1990: Con Report
The quest star was Michael Dorn from Star Trek The Next Generation. There were various activities and a fair-sized dealer's room to keep us occupied. When all else failed, the balcony of our room had a stunning view of the ocean. Our resident Vulcan Ambassador was found several times observing the wild beauty of the surf. Several costumes were worn during the weekend. Lt. Cmdr. Tuel entered the "Parade of Aliens" and brought home a few mementos. The presiding Klingon (Michael Dorn) at the gathering presented her with awards for Best Star Trek Category and Best Star Trek Workmanship. The evening's entertainment, an Old Earth 50's dance, was well attended and enjoyed
by all present. [1]
