One of my perennial favorite Deep Space Nine characters is Admiral William J. Ross, played by Barry Jenner. In his role as Ross, the writers and producers loved his performance so much that they brought him back many times in the later seasons of the show. He had a quiet, strong, reflective demeanor and IMHO was the finest Admiral ever on any of the Star Trek series. This costume is a combination of parts from Admiral Ross and Admiral Paris (Voyager), but the most fun was seeing both actors at the Vegas CON in 2008 and getting pics of them with the outfit!
a non-commercial collector of Star Trek costumes. I have been collecting since Christie's held the now-historic 40th anniversay auction, and I'm afraid to say, there is no end in sight. I collect on many different levels: love of the character, passion for the design of the costume, and an amazement at the materials and workmanship involved in the creation of such magnificent pieces of "art". I find that I am constantly drawn to the costumes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine since that series holds the most interest for me, but my collection represents most of the various series and films.

When I met Barry Jenner at the 2009 convention, I mentioned I had a friend who had his Admiral Ross costume, and he knew your name! Very nice guy.
And someone else I didn't know before also mentioned you, as well as a number of Board members, so you were certainly there in spirit! But your physical presence was missed.
Thank you for making my day! I had a great time meeting Barry last year, and I wished I could attend this year. I will definitely be on for next year though, as I have promised our oldest daughter to take her along! Thank you Lyn for your kind comments, and I really regret not seeing you this go-round. Hopefully we'll finally connect in the future.
