Wow 40 years...hard to believe its been that long
I also have gone to some of the creation conventions when they come to the NY area. Last one I was at was last year and Nimoy was the guest. I have been to ones with Shatner, and Takei, and Patrick Stewart also.
Sure the conventions sound nerdy but they are actually alot of fun if you are into collecting. Some good buys are at those tables.
Now I wish I could have gone to the big ones held once a year in CA and Vegas. Maybe someday!
Your right about the science connection too. When Doohan died so many science people posted tributes on the paramount forums. They have been great inspirations to many people
