Here’s today’s flashback: From 1979, a full color (!) sneak peek at Star Trek: The Motion Picture from a supermarket tabloid (I think it’s The Star, but it could be The National Enquirer). I recall being stunned at how different the Klingons looked, and that Spock had a pageboy haircut! (oh, the hippie!) But it stoked my interest, as you can see, I cannibalized it so it would fit neatly into my scrapbook pages.
Here’s today’s flashback: From October 1979, a slap-dash poster from the halls of a local community college showing ‘The Trouble with Tribbles’. As I recall back in the day, our local ABC-TV affiliate station showed Star Trek on Monday through Friday’s at 6:00, and occasionally they’d loan out their copies (on film-stock) to local showcases. But this wasn’t a local loan, I see that the poster has “Clem Williams Films. Inc” in the lower left hand corner, which was a distributor of 16mm films (in the era before VHS took over) and the school must have rented it from them. I recall my sister and her beau drove me out to the college so I could watch it! (wasn’t that nice?) Oh sure, I could see it anytime on TV, but to see it on a big screen? Bring it on.

Hi Kids. I’m back. I think I need some Spock-Therapy…
It’s been a hard week
Sometimes I’m just so sad.
Sometimes I want to scream
Other times I’m just so mad
Sometimes it feels like a nightmare
I’ll miss my Mom so much
So thankful for my family and friends
But if I concentrate
And breathe…
and pray with meditation
And keep her in my heart
Slowly I’ll make it through, and in time…
The sun will shine again.
I just wanted to drop a note here to thank all of your who sent me messages of comfort and support at this sad time. All of your thoughts and prayers were greatly appreciated and comforting, thank you so much. We had a beautiful funeral for my Mom this past Monday: a true celebration of her life. The support I’ve received has helped me, and continues to help me as I navigate through this time. I’ll start posting here again next week. Thanks again, Therese
The last, sadly prophetic but beautiful photo I took of my Mom, Anna, on Memorial Day, just as I was leaving her house.(several hours before the fall) She had just come out to get her daily dose of sunshine in her back yard, as she smiled, waved goodbye and said “I love you!”
I love you, Mom. Thank you for this gift. ❤
My beautiful Mother passed away peacefully this morning (May 30) in her sleep. Although I am heartbroken, I am thankful that she is out of the horrible pain caused by her fall on Monday. Her joy and smile will be with me always, and she helped me to become the best Mom and human being I can be. My Mom has earned a beautiful eternity with Dad, my sister Maggie, Mom’s sister Eileen, her mother, Mary, and her dear friends Flo and Rita. Thank you all for your love and prayers.Mom liked my blog a lot. I won’t be posting here for a while. Love, Tess.
me and Mom on April 30th.

Dear Friends, I probably won’t be posting for a while, at least this week. My darling 93-year old Mom (Anna) suffered a bad fall yesterday (Memorial Day) which resulted in 6 broken ribs and a very tiny tear in her heart. Fortunately the tear was not a big as originally thought, and she is resting comfortably in the ICU. These next 36 hours are critical to my Mom’s mortality, but we are hopeful that the tear will gently heal itself. We’re not quite out of the woods yet, but your prayers and thoughts will be greatly appreciated these next few days. Thank you for understanding, Therese
Me, (right) with Mom, Anna, on April 30, Therese’s birthday) Please keep Mom in your prayers to heal from her bad fall. Thanks.
Yay! I’m finally getting a chance to see Star Trek: Into Darkness today! I’ll have a review up next week!

Here’s today’s flashback: Winding down in her last Star Trek Reports for Starlog Magazine, , Susan Sackett nears the end of the series with the article “The Days dwindle down to a precious few”.
Here’s today’s Flashback; From the November 1979 #14 issue of FUTURE Magazine, a splendid layout of production drawings from ST:TMP. I recall being curious about how the new Enterprise and Klingon ships would look; mostly the same but definitely with more of an edge.
