Begun in March 1973 as a part of the national Star Trek Association for Revival, STAR OKC was central Oklahoma's most influential seedbed of fandom through 2005. ..... This blog exists to document fandom in central Oklahoma. The area was home to PsurrealCon/PseudoCon, ThunderCon, and Soonercon (née SoonerCon) -- all begun or supported by members of STAR OKC.

1976 March-April GALACTIC GAZETTE
This was way, way before my time. I never met the co-editors, Paul Smith and Kevin Acers. My first encounter with STAR was at BabelCon 1, in 1980.
See you at Soonercon 31, campers!

Visit 1976 and S.T.A.R.Base OKC
As you may imagine, these are from that storied US Bicentennial year. Also before yours truly came upon the scene, so I can provide no further context.
No cracks about the spelling, please. These were high-school kids, and it took a lot of time to stencil those letters, in the days when 'desktop publishing" involved a typewriter and money for the library's copier.

STAR OKC Flyers from the 1970s
These are from the 1970s. I can advise that "Cpt. Paul Marek" is alive in the OKC area, but wisely keeps a low profile at SoonerCons and other places hoping to avoid having his memories solicited.
Suzanne Romero, later Zann Jones, and later not, was a big pusher of the early STAR also.
See you next time!
