Description
Hello. I was trying to email your mayor, but here goes: please read this entire message, before deciding that
I'm a nut. I'm in my 60s and now traveling a lot more. Last year I flew to Anchorage, rented a car, and spent a
lot on souvenirs, restaurants and a hotel. Right now, I am always searching for someplace to visit. I'm going to
upstate NY ths year. Now, to why I'm writing to you. As I hope you know, per Star Trek lore: first contact of
earth & Vulcans was in Bozeman. I'm surprised that you don't have a statue. You would bring in tons of
tourists! A couple of years ago, I took 2 of my grandsons & drove to Iowa to see the future birthplace of
Captain Kirk. We stayed the night, ate, went shopping. They get thousands of visitors annually. I'm not a
Trekkie that goes to conventions, just someone who was a kid in the 1960s, and I would go to Bozeman to see
that, and stay for 5-6 days (my average vacation). You're sitting on a potential gold mine.

Hi Diana,
Oh yes, we know all about Ephraim Cochrane! We have sent postcards from Bozeman to Star Trek fans, and the character's name has been submitted
many times for naming buildings, parks, and other local places. Many agree we should have a statue in Bozeman. We also have a fledgling Star Trek
convention in Bozeman. Your message will be sent to the Mayor, the City Commission, and all City Department Heads. I suggest you reach out to the
Bozeman Chamber of Commerce for their consideration: kclark@bozemanchamber.com or 406-922-0446.
I hope this helps. Thank you for reaching out.
