Reactions and Reviews: Issue 26

A4, photocopied beautifully newsletter of the DECOY DeForest Kelley Fan Club. This issue has a beautiful cover shot of Mr. Kelley and goes straight to a letter from him. It also contains bits and pieces on the new movie such as something on Robert Fletcher, the costumer designer of ST1 & 2 and the special effects in ST3. Plus a couple of ads and a beautiful poem on McCoy by Betsi Ashton. Always a consistently high job. A good read for all McCoy fans! ^[1]
