Equicon 75 Star Trek Convention TV Commercial

The members of S.T.A.R. San Diego ran Equicon 75 at the El Cortez Hotel, with most of the STAR TREK cast attending as guests. The "Captain" in the ad is now-famous science fiction author Greg Bear. (We knew him when!) Yes, it's blurry. (Sorry.) It's been pieced back together from a 34-year-old silent 8mm film, converted to vhs, then to dvd (with the sound dubbed back in from an ancient cassette tape), then converted again to an mp4 file!

Yes, that's Karen. We're working on getting a clearer copy of this ad from the original 2" reel-to-reel video tape (wish us luck!) Thanks for the memories, Charlene. Glad you had a good time at the con!

Can anyone tell me if the brunette long hair "officer" to the right of Greg is Karen Schnaubelt?! That's my guess... I was all of 15 when I started attending STAR meetings at SDSU & then this my first ST convention. I was a "gopher", & myself & other volunteers got a chance to meet Gene Roddenberry (though sick with a fever) up in one of the El Cortez top floor penthouse rooms at a late evening party. Too cool memories in the days when ST cons were fundraisers & not all for profit . Charlene
