In the spring of 1976, the United States Naval Academy Glee Club was invited to sing at the Easter Sunrise service in the Hollywood Bowl in Hollywood, California. A couple of us, who were unapologetic science fiction geeks, noticed that there was a major science fiction convention going on in L.A. that weekend--Equicon '76, run by Star-Trek uber-fan Bjo Trimble. So Midshipman Ray Trygstad and Midshipman James Gafford headed down there and presented our press credentials as staff members of The LOG, the humor magazine of the Brigade of Midshipmen at the Naval Academy. We were rewarded with press passes and full access to the media room! I started interviewing and James snapped photos; we interviewed Grace Lee Whitney, Yeoman Rand on the first season, and Robert Bloch, author of three Star Trek episodes, "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", "Wolf in the Fold", and "Catspaw", and more notably, Psycho, the source for the Alfred Hitchcock thriller of the same name. And finally we had the opportunity to interview "The Great Bird of the Galaxy" himself, Gene Roddenberry. Gene was amiable and gracious and gave us well over half-an-hour of his time. The resulting interview, conducted April 17, 1976, was published in The LOG on June 1, 1976. I have scanned and converted the interview exactly as it appeared on the pages of magazine and Adobe Acrobat has done an amazing job of preserving the look of the original typeface, so here it is: The Gene Roddenberry Log Interview.
