STATE: Dancing Star Foundation hosts William Shatner

While attending to my Dad’s medical needs in Los Angeles this month (May 2012), Sue and I were able to attend a fund raiser for one of our favorite non-profits, the Dancing Star Foundation (helping humankind protect the natural world: http://www.dancingstarfoundation.org/).  While there, I was able to spend some quality time with William Shatner, one of my favorite entertainment personalities. We were able to discuss a variety of topics, including Scuba Diving, clearing your ears, lung capacity, Catalina’s West End dive site, lobster diving, Bill’s most memorable Star Trek Movie moment (filming on El Capitan – “I was very professional and very scared”). It was great. I wanted to ask him to say “Denny Crane” but just couldn’t get up the nerve! Thank-you, Dancing Star Foundation (photos by Jane Morrison of Dancing Star Foundation)! I was fortunate that a few folks in attendance snapped a few photos and sent them to me:





I also wanted to introduce Mr. Shatner to the concept of Hand-Me-Ups, the lightly used clothing that I get from brother Brian before he can send them on to Goodwill Industries. I would have loved to tell Bill that I was wearing a Hand-Me-Up shirt, as he seemed the type of person that would find that amusing, but I just didn't get the chance. Anyways, thanks Bro for the great looking shirt that appears in these historic photos with "The Shat". Captain James T. Kirk Biography CLICK
