Acknowledgments

Beyond Gene Roddenberry and Robert H. Justman, who guided this project through its early research stages, dating back to 1982, and Dorothy Fontana, John D.F. Black and Mary Black, my appreciation to those who gave further encouragement and guidance and support:

For all her help going through the Star Trek show files at the UCLA Performing Arts Library (since absorbed into the UCLA Special Collections Library), my gratitude to Lauren Buisson.

Many of those who helped to make the original Star Trek are sadly no longer with us. In an effort to include their voices in this documentation, I relied on hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles, as well as dozens of books. A full list of these sources can be found in the bibliography, but I wish to give special mention here to the following books and their authors:

Inside Star Trek: The Real Story by Herbert F. Solow and Robert H. Justman. The Longest Trek: My Tour of the Galaxy by Grace Lee Whitney with Jim Denney. The Making of Star Trek by Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry. The Music of Star Trek, by Jeff Bond. On the Good Ship Enterprise: My 15 Years with Star Trek by Bjo Trimble. Science Fiction Television Series by Mark Phillips and Frank Garcia. Shatner: Where No Man by William Shatner, Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath. The Star Trek Compendium by Allan Asherman.
