:09:02
That's what you need on a jury
is an open-minded person.
:09:05
Based on the ideals of Star Trek, yeah,
I think she'd be an asset.
:09:07
This is what she wants to do.
This is America.
:09:09
I mean, we should be able to do
what we want to do.
:09:11
You know, look how we want to
look, say what we want to say.
:09:14
I think she's a pretty neat lady
:09:16
to have the guts to, um,
kind of be herself,
:09:18
even on an important thing
like being a juror.
:09:22
You can put on a uniform for football
year-round, nobody cares.
:09:26
Basketball year-round,
nobody cares.
:09:28
Put on a Star Trek uniform,
people get a case of the giggles.
:09:31
I don't want my officers to ever
feel ashamed to wear their uniform.
:09:35
And...so,
:09:38
I went to a civic duty.
:09:40
What we do is community service.
I was performing my civic duty.
:09:44
I wore my uniform,
just as any other officer
in the military would wear theirs.
:09:50
I came to meet the stars.
:09:51
I like to see
a different side of the stars,
:09:53
the personal side.

DeForest Kelley:
While I was in Florida,
:09:56
RuthAnn presented me
with this belt buckle
:09:59
on my 138th birthday.
:10:02
[Laughter]
:10:06
Now...Now then, every time
I see someone,
:10:12
they say, you know, "You look
so much younger in person."
:10:16
[Laughter]
:10:19
The first one that I did, um...
:10:23
I think was around '72.
:10:26
Um, I got a call
to come to New Y ork.
:10:30
They had done
one convention first,
:10:33
and I think it wasn't
really a convention.
:10:36
They got together
with about 35 or 40 or 50--
:10:40
the way I heard the story--
of fans of Star Trek
:10:44
that just wanted to get together and
talk about the show, which they did.
:10:48
And they said, "You know,
why don't we put our money together
:10:53
and rent a hotel ballroom?"
:10:56
"And talk about
our mutual interest
:10:58
and show each other
what we have collected so far
