Never Forget...
The Hephaestus deems it lights for one of its own. Dennis Evans has gone on his final mission as of Saturday, June 13, 2026 (age: 65). He served as the second officer for several years and as the editor of the Anvil. Dennis held the rank of Fleet Captain at the time he retired from STARFLEET: the International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc. He loved to play games, including Texas Hold'em. When playing Texas Hold'em, he said he never bluffed, but most believe that was a bluff. We will see you among the stars, Dennis.
