Special Guests
Ethan Peck The grandson of Hollywood
legend and Oscar winning actor
Gregory “To Kill a Mockingbird”
Peck, Ethan Peck made his
grand entry into Star Trek lore
during the second season of
Star Trek: Discovery as none
other than one the franchise’s
most iconic characters, Mr.
Spock!
Born in Los Angeles, he played
a variety of sports in high
school and studied the cello.
He attended New York
University’s Tisch School of the Arts and won the 2009 Sonoma International Film Festival’s Best Actor
award in 2009. He was appearing in films and television productions, such as That 70’s Show, 10 Things I
Hate About You, The Curse of Sleeping Beauty, and The Honor List.
After landing the role of Spock in Discovery, Ethan says he “dove” right
into watching Star Trek’s original mid-60s run to learn about the
character of Spock and Leonard Nimoy’s performances, even reading
Nimoy’s two books on the subject: I Am Not Spock and the follow-up I
Am Spock. During the first few months of filming, he would have Nimoy
as Spock in his mind as he delivered his own performances, until he
found the “centre of the character” within himself.
This is the first time Ethan visits us at Trekonderoga! Join Ethan as he
tours the stunning standing sets of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and don’t miss
your chance to meet this amazing, fine young actor in person!
Appears Friday & Saturday only
Terry Farrell Terry Farrell brought to life the character of
Jadzia Dax, a member of one the more
interesting alien species from the Star Trek
universe, the symbiont Trill. Over the course
of six seasons on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,
Terry brought a mix of seriousness, humor
and friendly playfulness in her relationships
with the characters of Commander Sisko and
Dr. Bashir, among others.
Terry was born in the same state that was
eventually christened as Captain Kirk’s
fictional birthplace, Iowa. Already almost six
feet tall in high school, she modeled for 18
months before turning to acting, appearing
in the motion picture comedy Back to
School, and then stints on television such as
Quantum Leap and The Cosby Show.
In the early 1990s, she joined the cast of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Her character was the focus of
many popular episodes, allowing Terry to showcase her talents over several years. After DS9, Terry
joined the cast of Becker, starring alongside Ted Danson for four seasons.
As for the public side of her personal
life, many Star Trek fans will know that
Terry married Leonard Nimoy’s son
Adam Nimoy just last year!
This is Terry’s first visit to
Trekonderoga – don’t miss the
opportunity to meet Dax herself in the
corridors of the Starship Enterprise, as
she once roamed, in character as Dax,
in probably the most popular episode
of DS9, “Trials and Tribble-ations”,
pictured here!
Appears Friday, Saturday, &
Sunday
Featured Guests
J.G. Hertzler One of the most popular Klingons is coming to Trekonderoga! See
what General Martok really thinks of your beloved Enterprise as
J.G. Hertzler prowls her corridors in full make-up and costume as
the ever growly and crisp General – an appearance not to be
missed!
Hertzler was born in Georgia to his U.S. Air Force father and
schoolteacher mother. He got the acting bug in University as he
graduated with a political science degree. He worked for the Nixon
Administration on the National Environmental Protection Act and
continued practicing acting in theatre. Moving from the east coast
to the west, he then appeared in a Quantum Leap episode in
1990, and then as a regular on the 1990s series Zorro. He began
his Star Trek career in the first episode of Deep Space Nine,
“Emissary,” as the Vulcan captain of the Saratoga. He auditioned
for more roles on the series before being picked to read as Martok, and as his entry in Wikipedia puts
it…
At first, Hertzler portrayed Martok as a mild-mannered Klingon, but when he was asked to make
him angrier, he picked up a chair and threw it into a wall. The chair's leg stuck briefly and he said
he had also inadvertently ripped his thumbnail causing it to bleed, but it had impressed the
auditors and he landed the part.
J.G. played the character for three seasons on the series, including the changeling named Laas, and
moved on to a guest appearance in Voyager alongside Dwayne Johnson, and two episodes of Star Trek:
Enterprise. J.G. has been active on the convention circuit, wrote two Star Trek novels, a screenplay and
has worked in recent politics and activism.
While it is doubtful any Burke chairs will be thrown against any
corridor walls on board the Enterprise during the
Trekonderoga weekend, don’t miss this chance to meet J.G.
Hertzler (and General Martok) in person this August!
Appears Friday, Saturday, & Sunday
Robin Curtis Robin Curtis arrived in Los Angeles in 1982. She
first appeared in a first season episode of the
popular science fiction television show Knight
Rider. She formed a friendship with the head of
Paramount’s casting department which led to
that person recommending her for the role of
Lieutenant Saavik in Leonard Nimoy’s Star Trek
III – The Search for Spock. Robin met with
Nimoy who cast her in the role the following
day; Robin had now forever joined Star Trek
lore. Robin also played Saavik in Star Trek IV –
The Voyage Home in a short “This is good-bye” appearance. In 2002, Robin would provide audio
commentary for Search for Spock in its “Collector’s Edition” DVD release.
Robin also appeared as a Vulcan disguised as a Romulan in Star Trek – The Next Generation’s two-parter
episode “Gambit” and later appeared in the Babylon 5 episode “Deathwalker”. Other television credits
include MacGyver, Night Court, and The Equalizer, while film credits include Hexed, Ghost Story, and LBJ
– The Early Years in the role of Jacqueline Kennedy. Robin was also active on the stage including
appearing in the off-Broadway show The City Suite and Los Angeles’ Garden. In 2005, she debuted her
one-woman show entitled Not My Bra, You Don’t! – The
Sexual Odyssey of a Forty-Nine Year Old Woman.
This is Robin’s second appearance with us at Trekonderoga!
While she has made appearances at various conventions,
she is rarely on the con circuit, so don’t miss this
opportunity to meet and greet Robin Curtis in the corridors
of the Starship Enterprise…!
Appears Friday, Saturday, & Sunday
David Frankham It isn’t every day you get to meet the original
designer of the Starship Enterprise, the ill-
fated character of “Larry Marvick,” who
appears in the episode “Is There in Truth No
Beauty?” – here is your chance to meet David
Frankham, who performed as Marvick, at this
year’s edition of Trekonderoga!
David was born in Gillingham, Kent in
southeast England; after serving in World War
II, he entered the world of media by first
working as a news reader, interviewer and
producer for the BBC. He moved to
Hollywood in the mid-1950s and became an actor. He voiced the character of Sgt. Tibbs the cat in
Disney’s One Hundred and One Dalmatians, as well as appearing in motion pictures such as Return of the
Fly, Ten Who Dared, Master of the World, Tales of Terror, The Spiral Road, King Rat, and The Great
Santini.
He was also busy on television from the 1950s to through
the 1980s, appearing in such shows as Matinee Theatre,
77 Sunset Strip, Maverick, Men into Space, The Jack Benny
Program, Dr. Kildare, Gomer Pyle: USMC, The Beverly
Hillbillies, The Six Million Dollar Man and many more.
Star Trek fans will of course remember him as the love-
struck engineer Marvick who is driven insane by the sight
of the Medusan ambassador. You’ll surely find him in
Engineering, tending over the warp engines of the ship he
designed, when you Make the Trek! to Ticonderoga!

Appears Friday, Saturday, & Sunday
Bonnie Moss Bonnie lives in North Carolina and
vividly remembers Star Trek’s
premiere in 1966. She is a Licensed
Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
specializing primarily in the Mental
Health and Hospice fields. Her
university degrees are from Wake
Forest University and the University
of North Carolina, and she
completed additional post-graduate
work at Duke University. She has
been fortunate to meet all of the
Star Trek actors, creator Gene
Roddenberry, and several original
series writers.
Bonnie befriended Leonard Nimoy in 1979, ultimately collecting a massive amount of
memorabilia on his life and career. Aside from collecting, she enjoys art, travel, and history.
Bonnie last communicated with Leonard just weeks before his passing back in 2015 and has
remained in touch with the Nimoy family since. Both Adam and Julie Nimoy utilized photos
from Bonnie’s collection for their respective documentaries on their father. Bonnie was the
Primary Sponsor of Leonard’s “Secret Selves” photography exhibition at the Massachusetts
Museum of Modern Art, and had her own portrait taken by him! She was there when Leonard
was presented with the proclamation of “Leonard Nimoy Day” in Boston in 2009, and she
returned to Boston in 2014 to attend the ceremony where he received an Honorary Emmy for
his body of television work. Bonnie received his personal permission to initiate and organize her
own exhibition of his photography – the first one to open following his passing.
At this year’s Trekonderoga event, Bonnie will be presenting Personal Anecdotes from a 35-year
Friendship, including unique photos from her Nimoy collection before, during, and post-Star
Trek, with some emphasis on Leonard’s other talents and accomplishments. Bonnie will also be
presenting a session on stories shared about Leonard from other friends and acting peers.
After each presentation, Bonnie will host Q/A sessions with attendees.
Don’t miss your chance to meet a unique individual who had a special connection with Leonard
Nimoy, at this year’s edition of Trekonderoga!
Ambassador Kollos
“How compact your bodies are. And
what a variety of senses you have. This
thing you call language, though – most
remarkable. You depend on it, for so
very much. But is any one of you really
its master? But most of all, the
aloneness. You are so alone. You live
out your lives in this…shell of flesh.
Self-contained. Separate. How lonely
you are. How terribly lonely.”
– Ambassador Kollos,
stardate 5630.7, on board the U.S.S. Enterprise
The Medusan Ambassador makes a surprise beam-up at this year’s Trekonderoga!
Ambassador Kollos was able to safely navigate the Enterprise out of an uncharted void where
the starship had been hurled into by a fit of insanity by Enterprise designer Larry Marvick. To do
so, the non-corporeal Medusan had to link minds with Science Office Spock, during which he
spoke the marvellous remarks on human language, and solitude, quoted above.
Join the Ambassador in the Enterprise Transporter Room for unforgettable selfies on your
phone with you, your loved ones, and the Medusan, in his first visit to our annual event!
Health Warning
Vulcan attendees and staff are warned to always
have their protective visors (Starfleet Issue – prod
spec #505-SC-101, Class VI shielding) available when
near the Ambassador, especially during any
Transporter activity (as the protective carrier pod
can dematerialize first or materialize last in the
process of beaming, exposing personnel to the sight
of the Medusan). Unprotected Medusan sightings
can and have led to incurable insanity, rapidly
followed by organ failure (q.v. Human Physiology,
Medusan sightings, Starfleet Medical Reference).
Visors are not effective protection for humans with
sight.
Meet James Cawley Creator, Star Trek Original Series Set Tour
While the good Captain in the quote from
Mirror, Mirror had goateed-Mr. Spock in mind,
the “one man with a vision” at Star Trek
Original Series Set Tour is none other than its
creator, James Cawley!
As you immerse yourself on board the
meticulously-recreated sets of the original
Starship Enterprise, you might wonder how this
all came about. Although fully licensed by CBS,
the idea to build these sets into a museum-like
atmosphere for fans to experience did not
originate in a CBS boardroom, but rather in the
mind of Star Trek fan and part-time Star Trek:
The Next Generation costumer, James Cawley!
James, born and raised in Ticonderoga and
fascinated with costume design, reached out
decades ago to Paramount Pictures’
switchboard and actually made contact with
original series costume designer William Ware
Theiss, busy working on TNG at the time. The
friendship blossomed, and Theiss, impressed
with James’ attention to detail, hired him as a
part-time costumer for the show. Theiss also
gifted James with the blueprints of the interior
Enterprise sets of the original series. James
decided to build the Bridge set in his
grandfather’s barn, and didn’t stop there – over
the next twenty years, using thousands of
photographs and screen captures from the
original series, James and his friends built all of
the Enterprise sets into today’s Star Trek
Original Series Set Tour!
James’ equally amazing “day job” is as a
#1-ranked Elvis Presley tribute artist – you can
see James in concert as Elvis, with a 15-piece
band, live on stage Saturday night during the
August 2019 Trekonderoga weekend!
To gain further insight into the man and his
vision of bringing the incredible Enterprise sets
to life, get yourself aboard one of the specially-
organized Set Tours led by none other than
James Cawley himself. Hear personal stories of
the construction and his attention to incredible
detail, and once you reach the Bridge, ask just
how far “off-spec” the first helm console was
when James decided it had to be rebuilt!
James’ vision extends far into the future as well.
Exciting plans for expansion are in place! Join
the thousands of fans who have lived out their
Star Trek dreams, all thanks to James Cawley!
“In every
revolution,
there’s one man
with a vision…”

The King in Concert – An Elvis Tribute starring
James Cawley The must-see Saturday night event every year, Star
Trek Original Series Set Tour creator James Cawley
brings his renowned Elvis tribute to Trekonderoga, this
year backed by the 15-piece Easy Money Big Band –
James has been ranked the #1 Elvis Presley
impersonator in the United States, by a committee of
Elvis fan club presidents, out of 2,500 contestants. His
amazing resemblance to "The King" in appearance,
mannerisms, and voice have also earned him finalist
status in the Worldwide Elvis impersonator contest.
This is a separately ticketed event.
