<p align="right"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> We
attended the Sacramento Creation Convention
on February 9 where Bill and Leonard were scheduled
to speak. </font><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">They
appeared on stage together and slipped easily
into their old roles. </font>
<font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">At
times it felt as though we were witnessing the
characters that they made so famous on Star
Trek. Watching them perform together was
almost like going back in time. Their rapport
was so easy, so familiar. Like old friends.
</font>
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Shortly
after they walked on stage, someone from the
audience yelled out, "We love you,"
and Bill responded with quiet sincerity, "We
love you, too."</font>
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Both
Bill and Leonard reminisced about Star Trek,
and they spoke at some length about how much
DeForest Kelley meant to them. They also talked
about their current projects and took questions
from the audience. Just about everyone that
had the opportunity to speak with Bill and Leonard
thanked them for the positive influence they
had on their lives. </font>
<p align="center"><font color="FFCC33"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">About
halfway through, Bill introduced Lisabeth and
she came on stage briefly to talk about WilliamShatner.com.
It was very apparent how proud Bill is of his
lovely daughter and how happy he is to be working
with her on this project.</font>

for a full report on the convention and more
photos in the March issue of The
