The Spirit of Columbia Region 3 Summit

My fellow "Ship crew members" of the USS Lonestar are hosting this years Summit here i

n Lubbock, Texas-June 10 thru the 12th at the Radisson Hotel. Region 3 is a compilation of all the members and chapters of STARFLEET, the International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc. It covers both Texas and Louisiana.

Last night, I attended the Marine Corp Mess Dress and I got to try on my Star Trek II (Wrath of Khan era uniform). Taking a walk about the hotel, I saw oour club's shuttlecraft in the parking lot of the hotel and decided to take some pictures to post here on my blog. The shuttle is names "The Spirit of Columbia" after the second space shuttle accident.

It was a rainy 4th of July, 2010 this year. The U.S.S. Lone Star shuttlecraft is a club's project for many years. Time to showcase it now since it's been finally given a name - The Spirit of Columbia!

The club is a part of the international Star Trek club known as Starfleet. Each club is a "ship." Leadership positions have rank much like that on the tv shows and movies.

This blogger has been a member of this ship before it was even known as the U.S.S. Lone Star.
