I ALWAYS FIND IT interesting to learn about our members. The stories about their life experiences, how they got involved in the hobby, and their professions are fascinating.
I was recently watching Fright Night, a classic 1980s vampire film, where a vampire becomes an unwelcome neighbor. Help for this predicament comes from a horror actor and host, played by Roddy McDowall. Steve had many sci-fi models prominently displayed, as well as his AMA sticker.
I reached out to him the next day and he agreed to be interviewed for “I Am the AMA” on the last page of this issue. He has many interesting stories, including being responsible for Spock’s ears on Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
