> I became a Trek fan in 1966. I wrote 4 letters to Paramount. I made up 3 sisters to improve the odds.
> I campaigned for George McGovern in New Hampshire when I was 18. I saw him at the debate.

> I studied under Dr. Aboulafia in Houston. I learned a lot and loved it a lot so I had to sneak it in here.
> I call myself Engineer Torres because I admired the ST Voyager character, the actress has Puerto Rican heritage, and, as a NASA contractor, my title was Staff Engineer. Torres is my real name.

Being in Texas, it has a painful connotation.
> I can’t seem to come up with an Obama connection.
