She sported the big ears and uniform of the Starship Command. She became fluent in Vulcan and Klingon. She attended every Star Trek convention in the hopes of seeing her beloved and hoped for the chance to tell him of her undying love. She was President of every Spock Fan Club and showed up at every opportunity meet her idol. When she finally did meet him face to face, she told him of her adoration and her hope that he would boldly go where no man had gone before.
