Memorial Postings
What I remember most about Carl... his long devotion to Fandom. He'd been Active in STARFLEET over 20 years that *I* know of... (I BELIEVE he joined back in 87...) But he loved everything that Gene Roddenberry's dream stood for... and I'm glad I had a chance to call him a friend.
Back when I was a lowly Major in STARFLEET and hadn't even heard of MFI, I was invited to attend Carl and Rita's Trek themed wedding in North Charleston. I pressed my Salt and Peppers, straightened my ribbons, bloused my pants in my boots, and waited for the ceremony to start. Someone walks over to me and asks if I would like to announce the dignitaries, or pipe them aboard. Of course I said yes! There were Admirals and Regional Coordinators and persons of import, all there to celebrate a man, a woman, and their love for each other. I have never been more honored to be in any other procession or ceremony. Carl and Rita have picked me up for travels to Summits and International Conferences. We have had BBQ's together and cookouts together. Carl was more than an officer I just so happened to know, he was a man, a friend. The world is a dimmer place without his light.
Back when I was not so well known, Carl was kind enough to let me keep the bowling scores in the league he was in. ( don't know if the league was STARFLEET related,but it did have STARFLEET ships and personnel.) I was the one who added up all the scores and report the actual scores. Also, remember him buying me a picture-puzzle of the ENTERPRISE in a frame at IC03 when I outbid everyone and found out I didn't have enough money, so, he brought it for me. (Yes, I still have the picture-puzzle.) He was a friend to us all in MFI and SFI. He will be missed.
