Bill Hickey was a Star Trek superfan. He created and ran the company "Starfleet Uniforms" which was the main manufacturer of the orlon Star Trek shirts that many fans bought and wore.

He was so famous that some fans created a fan club for him.

This club published a newsletter as well as a novel called Ultimate Fantasy.

In mid-1982, the creators of his fan club announced its formation and wrote:

We need heroes; we need men whom we can respect, admire and emulate. Bill Hickey fits that description. Bill has had his dreams. He dreamed of owning a Star Trek patch, of owning a Star Trek uniform, of selling Star Trek uniforms, of meeting the Star Trek stars, and, ultimately, of having a part in Star Trek—the Motion Picture. Now, the fact that he has fulfilled these dreams does not make Bill a hero. He is a hero because he shares these experiences with us. When Bill speaks at Star Trek conventions, he weaves an atmosphere of enchantment around his audience. He gives people the hope that their dreams could come true also. The Official Bill Hickey Fan Club gives its members the opportunity to support Bill in his dreams and aspirations. It also permits us to salute his talents, his charisma and his sincerity.
