Hi, my name is Kenneth C. Gifford, III (my friends call me Ken), Nickname is DeafSpeedy and I thank you for coming by and visiting my Fan Club web page.  If you haven't figured it out yet, I am a big fan of Star Trek and yes, I am a card carrying member of STARFLEET, The International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc.  In this organization I serve aboard the USS Glory as the Chief of Engineering. 

As the Chief of Engineering I am responsible for setting up props, if my lazy CO will ever get them!, and what ever else needs fixing or put together. 

I am also a proud Marine in STARFLEET and hold the rank of Marine Captain, which is the equivalent to a Lieutenant in the Fleet. 

My Trek persona is that of a Klingon, I don't dress up but I have the attitude and I am just as Honorable.  I belong to the Klingon House of 'Iw (that is the House of Blood to you Terrans) where I am soon to be the Sword Bearer.

My Klingon name is Morte-con K'Onore Tal-'lw which is a rough translation from English to Italian "Death with Honor" and a touch of Klingonification added.  This combines my Italian heritage with my Klingon persona.

My woman is the Great Lady Danaan Riley.  She is also in STARFLEET and serves on the USS Appomattox in Virginia.  She is finishing up her education and maybe moving to WV to be with me and will sit on the USS Glory as the Full Time Counselor.

I really love classic muscle cars, like the 1969 Mustang, and I love computers.  I am currently taking courses in the computer field and I hope someday to work in computers.

If you are interested in joining me and my family/friends in celebrating my upcoming weddings, yes we are having more than 1, to my great lady starting this summer (2009), just drop me an email at coe@ussglory.com.  We'll leave a light on for ya!
