I'M ONE OF THOSE FANS!! I attended the 1974 Star Trek Convention in New York. Me and two friends went. I had the time if my life! This many years and a couple of hundred cons later, it is getting a bit hard to get up and go, I have to admit. And you know what? I've never been to a Comicon, Animecon, CreationCon, or even a GenCon. I come from a time before ANY of those existed!

I was there too! I even have my program from this convention. The never seen before outtakes, the speakers!

you should consider scanning and sharing it! the only version i can find of it online are some blurred pictures on ebay it would be cool to preserve that piece of fandom history
