James Trowbridge and his positive vision of the future

James Trowbridge received a special gift for his tenth birthday: his father John surprised him with a trip to The Las Vegas Hilton and tickets to a Star Trek convention. The highlight of the trip was asking a question of Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy was so taken with James’ interest, that the actor invited the MPI Elementary School student up to the stage. James made such a positive impression on the Star Trek icon, that he was invited to contribute to a special Star Trek blog (www.trekmovie.com) as a youth correspondent.

Nimoy later invited the Trowbridge family to the premiere of the new film. James was introduced to Star Trek by his father. “I like it because it shows a positive vision of the future,” James said.
