This year (2010), while at the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, I had the priviledge of meeting Carl & Gypsy Stark.  They were gracious, warm people who gushed about their son, Jeremy, and asked if I would be kind enough to do a carve of him.  As I talked with them, I learned that Jeremy was born with Cerebal Palsey and had passed away the previous year.   He was a great fan of all things Sci-Fi, especially Star Trek.  Carl & Gypsy were attending their 1st convention without their son to carry on his memory.  I cannot express the immediate, emotional impact their story had on me...right there in the convention, I had to step away and compose myself.  I was heart-broken & inspired at the same moment.  Carl & Gypsy were getting autographs of Jeremy's favorite actors to carry on his legacy...

Jeremy passed away in the arms of his loving parents & touched me in a way I will never forget.  I have created this page in the hopes that everyone who reads this will also get to "know" him, and Jeremy can reach more people than he ever imagined.  I can tell his smile lit up a room, his joy exceeded those around him, and I pray one day in Heaven to meet him in person...
