Star Trek Poetry by DeForest Kelley (Doctor McCoy) Remember

Description: This is for two poems by DeForest Kelley (Star Trek's original 'Bones' McCoy), written in calligraphy by his wife Carolyn Kelley. These were given to cast/crew as gifts, and only a few remain. These were 8.5" x 11" copies bound with a plastic spine clip and a clear plastic cover sheet (21 pages). Other than age, these are in great shape and don't even appear to be thumbed through. I believe these were extras that just never got handed out. Poem #1: In 1977, DeForest Kelley wrote 'The Big Bird's Dream', a poem detailing the beginnings of Star Trek, from Gene Roddenberry coming up with the show's concept to selling it to the networks, to the two pilot episodes, to the fan's attempts to save the show, to the show's cancellaton and resurrection. Poem #2: In 1986, DeForest wrote 'The Dream Goes On...', which is more of an insight to his feelings toward Gene Roddenberry, his fellow actors, and the movies (with mention of Shatner's upcoming efforts on Star Trek V) The plastic spines and slip covers are for protection. (The last one sold may not have the plastic spine, as it broke in storage. I will try to find a replacement spine). I will also include a letter noting how I obtained these, as stated below. Where I Obtained These: In 2007, Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry (Gene Roddenberry's son) gave me several boxes of various Star Trek materials from storage. The box that these poems were in also included Star Trek IV & Star Trek: Voyager script copies. What Were These Printed For? I am not sure. I have only heard stories from a close friend that worked with Star Trek that this poetry piece may have been printed by Majel and included as gifts to the cast and crew at a 20th anniversary dinner party that coincided with a Star Trek IV celebration. My original thought was that they may have been similar gifts to 'remember' the 'Great Bird of the Galaxy' after Gene's death in 1991. Whether either of these is true or not, I have never seen these available from any vendors at the many conventions that I have attended (at least not assembled together like this). The quality of print and style of material appears to be from the 80's as well. The cover image with the title "Remember" is likely from a quote from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, which would explain his uniform in the image as well as Spock's image in the background. Are these photo copies? I have 18 of these from Rod, and have not, nor will I ever make copies. These are the last ones remaining. I have a 100% seller rating for a reason. No BS! You'll love this book.
