| During my many years with Gene and with "Star Trek," I was fortunate to have received many unusual items of memorabilia. A number of these were given to me as a courtesy for the service I rendered the studio in helping to scrutinize the numerous items being approved for sale by the Merchandising and Licensing department of Paramount Pictures. Whenever a new item would become available, the licensees would send a sample to Gene, to Richard Arnold (our resident "Trek expert") and to myself.
Additionally, each year when the show's new season began, there were gifts with the "Star Trek" logo created for the behind-the-scenes crew; these were never for sale to the public. And at Christmastime, Gene and other cast or crew members would have special items created to give to those of us fortunate enough to be working on "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
I have treasured all these items for many years, but I never used most of them because of the desire to maintain their pristine condition.
During the coming months, I will be offering these exciting, unique items for sale. They will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, as they are, for the most part, limited to only one of each item.
