For the last couple of years, I've been going to Star Trek conventions. I've enjoyed myself tremendously, meeting people face to face that previously I'd corresponded with online. I've also had a chance to meet some of the actors who play in Star Trek series. Here are a few views of which I'm particularly fond.
 

First, several views of Robert Duncan McNeill, who plays Tom Paris on Voyager.
 

  Robbie in Denver at a private fan club gathering.
 
 

He gave many thoughtful answers and was very relaxed at the fan club meeting--even though we all knew he'd rather have been at the Colorado Rockies-Atlanta Braves game taking place at Coors field at that very moment!
 
 
 

Robbie, responding to one of pjs wisecracks, no doubt. She was at the end of the room towards which Robbie is looking in this photo.
 
 
 
 
 
 

   Oh, yeah. And Robbie gave a hug to all the fan club members, Auntie Jamelia among them. He told us that some of the con and hotel people had complimented how his club was pretty "normal" compared to some that they'd encountered in the past. That's worth a hug, right? He's a real good hugger and a very nice guy, might I add.
 
 
 
 

I'd met him before, in Cleveland, when I didn't get a hug. He was nice then, too. Robbie is holding up a baby bib I'd stitched for his son Carter. I'd stitched one for Roxann's baby, too.
 
 

   In Cleveland, several fans gave Robbie a copy of the "Tom Paris Catalog." It was a fun thing put together by some members of the PT Collective.
 
 
 

  This is a photo of Robbie that I took at Shore Leave in Maryland. That con took place at the end of June, 1998, two weeks after I'd seen him in Cleveland. Hey, he was showing his short film, "The Battery," there. I wanted to see the film.

Yeah. Okay. So maybe I wanted to see Robbie again, too.
 
 
 
 

  At Shore Leave, I had a chance to go to the Trenton Thunder-Bowie Bay Sox game. The Thunder won! Robbie signed our ticket stubs and showed off his BaySox "tattoo," which our group had given him for fun. He said he had no tattoos, although he'd had one ear pierced when he was Charlie Brent in "All My Children" and wore earrings and drove a motorcycle in his spare time, "to be cool." He doesn't wear the earring any more. As for piercings, he'd rather see a female belly-button pierced "on the right midriff" to having holes poked anywhere on himself.
 
 
 
 
 
 

   We also found a place on the road. Should Robbie want any permanent adornments done, I'm sure they'd accommodate him. A Harley-Davidson rose perhaps, Robbie?
