She is charging $70 for her autograph, that is in addition to the fee to the affair :rollseyes:
I went and it was lousy!
the taxi, the plane, I have a long list of complaints that will keep me in my car and out of any airports for a Good LONG Time! ..talk about paying for pain...
I was just at the star trek convention to see Jeri.
Was it worth an additional $73 on top of the $53 ticket price?
I don't know, I was escorted out because
I brought her a gift and they refused to let me give it to her.
I'm 56 yr old and just over 5 ft tall {a real big threat huh?
SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL JERI:
I wanted to give her a miniature baseball bat with signatures of Babe Ruth,
Lou Gehrig, Connie Mack and 10 more [from the 1934 Tour of Asia] and
ask her to donate it to a good cause.
In 2001 I heard her say:
"First in life I wanted to be a Veterinarian"
She is on the cover of Pet Life Magazine because she saved a runaway dog from going on the freeway.
I thought she would like the exposure of giving it to Doris Day's Animal League ddal.org or to Cesar & Illusion Milan [dog whisperer] Foundation.
Instead of giving her the letter and photos of the bat, I got shown the door!
I was wishing she could be like Betty White and use her "celebrity" to help dogs.
I can sell it and let the auction house & taxes take most of the money & settle
for a few thousand dollars but
I wanted see it make a big change for someone or an organization
who would benefit from the international publicity I am told it will get.
seems to me, "international publicity" could be worth more than the bat it's self.
I hoped Jeri would hold a silent auction out of Ortolan and give the proceeds to a non-profit group of her choosing.
This was my 4th and final trip to try to give Jeri this bat.
I'm fed up with being treated like a criminal for trying to do a good deed.
Just think of all the people and dogs you could have helped? what a shame!
The reason I have tried so hard for so long is,
I can't believe Jeri is that cold hearted to ignore a request like this:
"sell it and donate the money as a favor to a fan."
I thought the underlying theme of [Gene Rodenberry's] Star Trek was Altruism =making a better world? I guess that is only on screen? signed deeply disappointed
