A 1967 Description
CAPE KENNEDY NIMOY FANATICALS beaded by Mrs. Priscilla Hale puts out some great bulletins...and some terrific sketches. A multi-talented gal, Priscilla. Other than to say her bulletins are completely fabulous, I'll let her tell you in her own words about her chapter there at the Cape...as follows:
- "We're a small group, only 26, but then we haven't been organized for very long. Our enthusiasm isn't lacking, though. We have one honorary member so far. She's also the editor of our monthly bulletin, "Sub Space Chatter". Her name is Prund Hala and she is the captain of a patrolling starship, the Zvnta IV. To her has been awarded the "Vulcan's Ear Award of Distinction" for being the most active CKNF member. She's rather odd-looking by our standards. Her skin is light green, her eyes and hair are dark pink. Her uniform is a light feminine pink with dark pink collar and rank stripes. She's really flipped over Spock. As she told me, "He off-balances my gyro!"
- Our main problem is raising money for the Chapter. We thought we might auction off our VP but she protested strongly. We finally settled on selling feather flower bouquets and yarn doll pins. If we raise enough money, we plan to pack our Chapter into a crate and ship ourselves to LN [Won't HE be surprised].
- The CKNF office is an 8x10-foot room, and one of the 8's is almost completely covered with pictures of LN. Once that's full, we'll start on a 10.
- Our Chapter mascot is Prund's brother, Mr. Bleep. He stands about 5-foot high. He looks a little different than she, though...he's got one eye and antennae.
- Our Chapter has an insignia, a rather futuristically shaped "L". It is hand embroidered on olive green satin. The edges are done with dark green thread and the letters in a very pale light green.
- Down here we use "Trekker" slang: Examples — Vulky.. .anything really good that turns you on; Warp Six...real fast; Warp Eight...top speed; Warp Out ...leave; Super Nova...real great; Phaze Out...leave me alone; Laying in a course for ____ going to ____; Recycle... start again; Super Vulky... the best there is!
- We turned a Vulky green with envy when we read about the number of members Spock's People has. And also,when we learned that they'd had the chance to meet LN. Such luck should happen to us! Well, I hope this will give you some idea, fictional and non-fictional of our Chapter." [2]
