"This is to remember the admirable and strong-willed man named Martin Luther King, Jr. His dream was to have a country where there was no segregation and for everyone to have equal rights. King, Jr. paved the way for many racial barriers to come down, along with Medgar Evers and Malcom X. He will always be remembered on January 21, his birthday." Christopher ReeveSeptember 25, 1952 - October 10, 2004 Submited & authored by Captain James Hunter On October 10th, 2004, the planet Earth mourned......for on this day, we truly lost a Superman. I'm not speaking about a character that was played on the silver screen. I'm talking about the character of the man himself. By now, the story of Christopher Reeve is quite well-known. He was the rugged actor who shot to stardom as the Man of Steel in 1978's Superman: The Movie. His portrayal of the duel character Clark Kent/Superman won him rave reviews, as he allowed us all to willingly suspend our disbelief. For a moment, we all could believe a man could fly. But it isn't his success as an actor that truly set Chris Reeve apart from the rest. It was the inner strength of the man himself......a strength that began to shine on that fateful day of May 27th, 1995. Christopher Reeve suffered fractures of his C-1 and C-2 vetebrae, the result of a riding accident. These fractures are sometimes known as the 'classic hang-man's fracture'. It is a miracle he didn't die then and there. Somehow, he managed to beat the odds, thanks to the dedicated people of the University of Virginia Medical Center, and maybe an honest to genuine miracle itself. It was from this accident that Chris Reeve found his true calling in life. He became the most famous and outspoken advocate for spinal research that the world has ever seen. His strength, his courage, and his dedication has been a boon to this vital field. His undying belief that one day he would walk again gave millions hope. Sadly, that day would never come for him. He passed away from a heart attack on October 10th, 2004. He leaves behind a legacy of hope and courage. While he may have played a character that was larger than life in his invincibility, it was through his own mortality that he truly became a symbol for all mankind. He's hoping you can finally walk again......and even more. Rest In Peace Chris. James Doohan

Lukas Fyrstk, Commanding officer - USS Eagle I started interacting with Amy when I wanted a personal apect of my character's life to come into the sim. I had him become interested with the CO of the U.S.S. Wyld Foxx - A. Amy was more than willing. We developed an in-character relationship between Lukas and April Style, which eventually led to them becoming married, then the birth of Lukas and April's children. Amy further enriched my simming when she allowed me to use April's son, Malachi, in my sim. HE has developed from an NPPC into his own character. As a tribute to Amy, I have kept the character of April Styles-Fyrstk alive. With permission from Amy's closest online friends, I wrote a story, "Reflections," as a tribute to her. I still cannot believe she is gone. I pray her family can cope with their loss. I also pray Amy is finally in peace. My simming experience with this group has been enriched since dealing with her. |

USF tribute to Amy |
February 13, 2006 saw the end of yet another brilliant acting career. Andreas Karsalas, better know in Trek lore as Commander Tomalak, died of cancer at the age of 59. Andreas had been bitten by the acting bug at the early age of 4, when his mother had taken him to a theater production in St. Louis, MO. He started his career off in the theater, doing innovative plays and productions. During a hiatus from theater, Andreas was cast, with a small recurring part, in the movie "The Sicilian." He was encouraged to use this role as a springboard into a movie career. He hsa since starred in many made-for-tv movies and tv shows. He is probably better know to Sci-Fi fans as G'Kar from Babylon 5. Andreas. Thank you for adding your talents to the Star Trek universe. You will continue to live on in our minds as Tomalak, and will be missed. |
