- This issue explains some complicated change of leadership and dissolution of a fan club: We have plenty of good news to report about this issue, and we'll begin with an item that should be of great intrest to all South Florida Star Trek fans and many more throughout the country. For some time now, the people at the top have seen it coming, and now it has happened: due largely to disagreements over how and by whom it should be run, the Star Trek Federation of Fans has ceased to be. This, however, does not mean the end, but rather the beginning of a second generation of fan club, a club more accutely aware of the special problems which crop up in each area of a different chapter or group. Out of the afore mentioned ashes, not one, but three phoenixes have risen. These organizations are Star Trek Fans of Florida, formerly the Palm Beach area STFF branch, the Interplanetary Trekkin' Terrans, formerly the South Broward County STFF, and of most intrest to fans in this area, as well as several others, the Star Trek United Federation of Fans, which used to be the Miami chapter of the old STFF. Miami is still, to the best of our knowledge, the largest single chapter of any ST club in the country and has active chapters of STUFF in Broward county, Naples, St. Petersburgh, New York City, and San Antonio, with even more expansion in the foreseeable future.
