WHO is human Isis?: 50-year mystery is over, thanks to “The Trek Files”
All it took was finding that one piece of paper. 50 years later. Finally, mystery solved: Who WAS Isis the cat in human form, from “Assignment: Earth”?

Goin’ home: The Trekland train is pullin’ into OKC’s SoonerCon station June 22-24
If it’s June, as I have been lucky enough to be honored, it must be time for my annual trek back “home-home” to OKC and the ever-growin’ SoonerCon 27, con of my birth and site of my hosting-guesting roots.
