WELCOME
Welcome to Trekonderoga 2015!
Welcome to the first annual Star Trek convention in Ticonderoga –
“Trekonderoga”! We are very excited to have you here to celebrate the Star
Trek show and philosophy that we all love. Come take a tour of the Retro Film
Studios sets, faithfully reproduced from the original Desilu Productions plans.
Attend presentations on the filming, costuming, and science of Star Trek.
Enjoy viewing previous episodes of Star Trek, sit in the Batmobile, and have
yourself filmed in a transporter beam-out sequence! And more!
Please help us extend a warm welcome to our celebrity guests, Trek veterans
all: actors Sally Kellerman, Sean Kenney, BarBara Luna, Don Marshall and
Louise Sorel as well as authors David Gerrold and Eric Stilwell. They will
delight you with their Guest Talks and their Question-and-Answer sessions as
part of special screenings of Star Trek episodes, and are available for photo
ops and autographs.
Ticonderoga is proud to host this first time event. The “land between the two
waters” (Lake George and Lake Champlain) boasts some of the best scenery
in the Adirondacks. It is rich in Revolutionary War and French and Indian War
history, and the people who live here are warm and friendly. We encourage
you to stay the full weekend and enjoy all of the attractions of the Ticonderoga
Area. We know you’ll fall in love with it and encourage your friends to visit.
We hope that you will enjoy the special intimate nature of Trekonderoga, and

GETTING AROUND
TREKONDEROGA
We are a multi-site convention. You’ll find
a map for our key locations in this
program. The map also shows where you
can park. The convention may look spread
out, but it really isn't – Ticonderoga is a
small town and everything is within a few
minutes walking distance. We have
allocated 15 minutes between events,
which is ample time for you to walk
between venues. except for getting to the
Best Western (which we only use Friday
night).
For the mobility challenged, all of the
venues are wheelchair accessible.
However, getting between them requires
walking. We will have a taxi running
between the downtown sites for those who
cannot navigate the short but uneven
distances, but the taxi is not wheelchair
accessible.

TECHNICAL FILMMAKING SESSIONS
Star Fleet Uniforms and Their Creation
James Cawley
Creating authentic uniforms can be as
challenging as creating authentic sets.
James shares his techniques and
experiences that bring the characters to life.
Structure of a Film Crew
Dennis Hotston & Marybeth Ritkouski
These two veterans of media production
know a thing or two about putting the right
crew together and organizing a team. They
will share their experience in this essential
filmmaking session. Star Trek Anthology
James A. Bray
Star Trek Anthology is a collection of series
based in the original Star Trek" series from
the 1960s. In this session, James Bray talks
about the formula for this exciting series
that’s partly Star Trek, partly Twilight Zone,
and a bit of Galaxy Quest and Outer
Limits.
Sets and Lighting

James Cawley
Producer, Star Trek: New Voyages
James Cawley grew up as an avid Star Trek
fan. He began collecting props and
costumes from the original series in 1997
and acquired the original Enterprise
blueprints when he interned on Star Trek:
The Next Generation as a professional
costume maker.
Constructing near-flawless recreations of
Star Trek sets in New York and funding the
project through his career as an Elvis
Tribute Artist, Cawley and fellow Star Trek
began shooting new Trek episodes. By
2003 the Star Trek: New Voyages pilot
Come What May was shot as a proof of
concept.
Cawley left the role of Kirk following the
episode Kitumba to focus solely on the
production aspect of the series. However,
he makes a humorous cameo in Mind Sifter
as an Elvis impersonator in an asylum
where he confronts Kirk (now played by
Brian Gross). Referred to as having "been
here forever," with the new Kirk, he
declares, "I hate that guy!”
Dennis Hotson Like many other Star Trek notables Dennis
hails from Canada. Educated in electronics
engineering, Dennis graduated from
Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario in
1984. From there he has pursued a career
in technology.
A career in the consumer electronics and
the smartphone industry kept him busy until
he retired in 2009. As a person who
embraces new technology, Star Trek
naturally appealed to Dennis.
Kent Schmidt A native of South Carolina, Kent moved to
Northeast New York as a child and has lived
there ever since. Professionally, he has
sold Honda cars for more than 17 years but
in his spare time he is the Gaffer (Chief

TECHNICAL FILMMAKING SESSIONS
SCIENCE SESSIONS
Star Trek Anthology Correct Science in the Star Trek
Universe
Dr. Ronald Held
The Star Trek multi-verse was supposed to
be similar to ours. In this talk, we will be
looking at instances where the science is
correct and not extensions or extrapolations
of what we know.
The Nature of Reality
Dr. Ronald Held
This presentation covers some physical
concepts behind parallel universes,
referencing several Star Trek series.
The Real Worlds of Star Trek
Dr. Inge Heyer
The last 15 years have seen the discovery
of hundreds of planets around nearby stars.
Many Star Trek episodes feature visits to
some of these worlds. This talk presents
what real science has discovered about
those fictional places.
Astronomical Images and Star Trek
Dr. Inge Heyer
In an effort to improve verisimilitude, all the
Star Trek series have used real
astronomical images as space
backgrounds. This talk presents some of
these images and the science derived from
them.
Space Elevator Engineering
Capt. Tom Donnelly
This talk will present physical and
mechanical issues associated with the
space elevator as suitable replacement for
for the Star Trek's physically impossible
transporter.
Dr. Ronald Held
Dr. Ronald Held graduated with a
Bachelor's/ Master's degrees in Physics and
a Ph. D in Astrophysics from Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute. He was employed at
Lockheed-Martin for three decades working
in the IT area, mostly on proprietary
projects.
Dr. Inge Heyer
Dr. Inge Heyer is an astronomer and
science educator who graduated with a
Masters degree in Astronomy from the
University of Hawaii and a Ph. D in Science
Education from the University of Wyoming.
She spent years working on the Hubble
team at the Space Telescope Science
Institute in Baltimore, MD and later at the
Joint Astronomy Centre in Hawaii. Currently
she teaches at Loyola University, Baltimore,
MD, where she is also co-authoring science
education text books.
Capt. Thomas Donnelly USNR
(ret) Captain Thomas Donnelly graduated from
Rice University with a Master's degree ('77)
in Electrical Engineering. He is a retired
Naval Officer and is currently a practicing
Systems Engineer in the Defense and
Aerospace industry. Capt. Donnelly taught
graduate and undergraduate courses in the
Electrical Engineering department at the
Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario,
served in the navy's Space and Naval
Warfare (SPAWAR) command, and served
in the Office of Naval Research (ONR). He
is a life-long fan of science fiction.
Founded by James Bray, Star Trek
Anthology is a collection of series based in
the original Star Trek" series from the
1960s. The concept is that Each week, we
feature a different story," explains creator
Jim Bray. Each segment of the series will
take place primarily in the original Trek
series time period. But where Gene
Roddenberry made Star Trek a “Wagon
Train to the Stars,” Challenger is an
Express Train to the Twilight Zone. Throw
in a pinch of “Galaxy Quest” and “Outer
Limits,” and you get the flavor of Anthology
mix.
Assignment: Earth is based on a Star Trek
episode of the same name in 1968 that was
intended as a back door pilot for a proposed
spin off series. It followed the exploits of
time-traveling agent Gary Seven and his
assistant/partner, Roberta Lincoln, on a
mission to manipulate or restore Earth's
past.
Anthology also includes Mother, an original
creation about a merchant cargo ship, the
Ursa Maru that works shipping lanes which
come in close proximity to Orion pirates and
other unsavory characters.
Starship Challenger tells the story of
Captain JM Colt and the crew of the USS
Challenger as they explore the outer rim of
the galaxy. You might remember the
character JM Colt as Captain Christopher
Pike's Yeoman in Star Trek's rejected pilot
The Cage.

Sally Kellerman California native Sally Clare Kellerman
was born on June 2, 1937, in Long Beach
to John Helm Kellerman and Edith Baine
(née Vaughn) Kellerman. Raised with her
sister in the San Fernando Valley area,
Sally was attracted to the performing arts
after seeing Marlon Brando star in Viva
Zapata! After graduating high school,
she enrolled at Los Angeles City College
but left after a year when enticed by
acting guru Jeff Corey’s classes.
During the 1960s Kellerman had TV roles
in comedies (Bachelor Father, My Three
Sons, Dobie Gillis and Ozzie and Harriet)
and dramas (Lock Up, Surfside 6,
Cheyenne, The Outer Limits, The
Rogues, Slattery’s People and the
second pilot of Star Trek).
Kellerman is best remembered for her
work in the irreverent hit M*A*S*H as
Major Margaret J “Hot Lips” Houlihan, for
which she received supporting Oscar and
Golden Globe nominations. From there
she went on to enjoy a number of other
hallmark moments as an actress and a
vocalist, earning her a recording contract
with Verve Records.
Kellerman continued to be a quirky
comedy treasure in the '70s and '80s
acting opposite Alan Arkin in Last of the
Red Hot Lovers (1972) and alongside excon James Caan as a sexy but loony
delight in Slither (1973).
She co-starred in and contributed the song
Reflections to the Burt Bacharach/Hal David
soundtrack of the Utopian film Lost Horizon
(1973), a musical, but contributed more
impressive work in A Little Romance (1979),
Foxes (1980) That’s Life! (1986) with Jack
Lemmon and Julie Andrews, and the
raucous Rodney Dangerfield hit, Back To
School (1986).
More recently, Sally has been concentrating
on her singing career. In 2009, she
released her second album simply titled
“Sally,” a jazz and blues-fused album. Along
those same lines, Sally played a nightclub
singer in the comedy “Limit Up” (1989) and
later co-starred in the movie “Night
Club” (2011) where friends and residents
start a club in a retirement home.
Sally’s seductively throaty voice has also
put her in good standing as a voice-over
artist of commercials, feature films and TV.
BarBara Luna BarBara Luna was born in Manhattan and
virtually grew up in theater. Rodgers &
Hammerstein cast her in the Broadway
musical South Pacific as Ezio Pinza’s
daughter, Ngana, Several years later when
she outgrew her sarong, Luna, as she
prefers to be called, was again cast by R&H
in The King and I as a Siamese child. She
was the understudy for Lotus Blossom in Teahouse of the August Moon, a role
spoken entirely in Japanese! Eight months
later Luna starred with Burgess Meredith in
the first national touring company. Sean Kenney While appearing with Teahouse in Los
Angeles, Luna was discovered by director
Mervyn Leroy and appeared in many films
with the likes of Frank Sinatra, James
Stewart, Henry Fonda, Vivian Leigh,
Simone Signoret, Barbara Eden, Peter
Lorre and many other film legends.
Luna feels honored to be so well
remembered for her portrayal of Marlena
Moreau in the all-time classic Trek episode
Mirror, Mirror.
In between film commitments, she appeared
as Anita in West Side Story, including a
revival at Lincoln Center. In A Chorus Line
on Broadway Luna sang What I Did for Love
in the role of Morales. This inspired the
multi-talented Luna to meet with Hairspray
Tony award winners Marc Shaiman and
Scott Whitman who prepared a nightclub act
for her. This act resulted in Luna appearing
with Bill Cosby in Atlantic City.
Wanting to do something different, Luna
ventured into the world of Soap Opera,
portraying Maria Roberts as “The Bitch
Everyone Loved to Hate” on One Life to
Live. Luna came out of retirement to work
for and with James Cawley, who was the
first Internet Captain Kirk in Star Trek New
Voyages, first in In Harm’s Way, and several
years after in Enemy Starfleet. How many
TOS actresses can say they have kissed
two Captains Kirks? Luna can!
Sean Kenney was born on March 13, 1944.
As is an actor he is known for his roles in
The Corpse Grinders (1971), The Toy Box
(1971) and Terminal Island (1973).
More importantly to us, he portrayed
Captain Christopher Pike in the framing
story filmed for the two-part Star Trek
episode, The Menagerie. Sean was the first
of the two actors to be seen in the show, as
the scenes from the pilot showing the
healthy Pike were used later in the courtmartial sequence. Apparently the character
was rendered mute and crippled to conceal
the fact that Kenney’s voice was not the
same as Jeffrey Hunter’s, hiding the fact he
was not the same actor.
Since 1980 Sean has lived in Los Angeles,
CA, USA, Developing TV & Film Projects
while actively pursuing acting roles. He is
also a talented, successful, and highly
sought-after photographer in the Hollywood/
Los Angeles area.

TREKONDEROGA RULES & POLICIES
Trekonderoga is a public event and will take
place regardless of weather or travel
conditions. Tickets are non-refundable.
Parking is available at the Best Western Inn,
North Country Community College, and in
the lots behind the Burleigh Luncheonette
and beside Aubuchon Hardware. You may
also use on-street parking as any other
driver does. The RFS Studios parking lot is
reserved for convention staff and outside
displays only.
All seating is on a first-come, first-served
basis in all programming rooms. However,
please observe any reserved signs for these
seats.
Purchase of a convention ticket does not
guarantee a guest's autograph, although
there are ample autograph hours so
everyone can get the autographs they want.
Attendees are responsible for attending the
scheduled autograph session(s) to secure a
guest’s autograph.
Causing a disruption in any of the
convention venues is grounds for immediate
expulsion from the convention. Convention
Area means any room or area of the RFS
building, the dealers' area, and any rooms
used to present programs and events.
You must wear your convention badge to
gain admittance to all convention areas.
Badges are non-transferable. The single
exception is the Dealers' room, which is
open to the public.
Lost badges will be replaced at Registration
for a $20.00 fee with proper photo
identification.
Attendees should be aware that convention
activities may be videotaped or
photographed by other members and the
press. The photographer should ask for
your permission prior to taping or
photographing you at the convention.
Attendees should be aware that they may
appear in the background of someone
else’s video or photo and are responsible
for notifying the particular photographer if
they do not wish to be included in the
image.
Smoking is prohibited in all Trekonderoga
facilities. Attendees should use designated
smoking areas outside.
Celebrity guests’ contracts normally prohibit
videotaping of their stage appearance.
Videotaping of other programming events is
subject to the approval of the person(s) on
stage or who is otherwise doing the
presenting.
Video and still cameras may not be used in
the Dealer’s area. There are no exceptions.
Videos may not be taken of the sets,
although still pictures while touring are
allowed.
Requesting a guest's personal information
is considered harassment and is grounds
for expulsion from the convention unless it
is official Trekonderoga staff carrying out
Trekonderoga business. Examples include
a convention attendee asking a guest for
their hotel room number, travel itinerary or
other contact information that the guest
considers private.
On-stage presentations of gifts or awards to
or by any member or guest must be preapproved by the Trekonderoga convention
chairs. Attempting to make a presentation
without this approval is grounds for
expulsion from the convention.
No gun play, swordplay, or other weaponry
use, whether with real weapons or props, is
allowed at any time unless it is taking place
at a demonstration event scheduled by the
convention. All weapons must remain
holstered or sheathed. Items considered
weapons include but are not limited to: paint
ball or splatter guns; prop, blank or cap
guns; laser tag guns; light sabers; swords,
knives, and similar articles with edges,
blades and/or projectile capability. Laser
target designators or laser pointers are not
allowed in the convention areas (except as
used by guest speakers for conventionsanctioned events such as a presentation).
Animals are not allowed in the convention
with the exception of service animals and
other accesses as required by law. The
Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
allows for trained service animals to
accompany their matched partner in a place
of business. Per the ADA, service animals
are: (a) individually trained animals matched
with a specific disabled person to perform
assistance tasks for that person; and (b)
working animals, not pets. The following
animals are not considered ADA service
animals and are not allowed in the
convention: (a) household pets; (b) animals
in training to be service animals who are not
accompanying their matched partner; and,
(c) animals used for emotional support or
easing anxiety. This rule also applies to
Search and Rescue (SAR) animals in
training.
Parents are responsible for the behavior of
their minor children. If a child is seen
behaving in a disruptive manner or in a way
that might cause harm to themselves,
others, sets, or equipment, Trekonderoga
reserves the right to ask that the parent
accompany the child at all times when in
convention areas.
Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in
Trekonderoga spaces. Possession or
consumption of alcohol at the convention
will result in immediate expulsion.
Convention attendees are further advised to
follow New York's Drug and Alcohol Abuse
laws outside of the convention. The drinking
age in New York is 21. What constitutes a
violation of all convention rules and policies
will be determined by the Trekonderoga cochairs, staff. and/or executive committee.
