George Washington

Prior to serving as President of The United States (POTUS), George Washington was the first President of the Star Trek Fan Club. Voting for this prestigious post was controversial, as Washington refused to show his collection of memorabilia with any member who wouldn't promise to vote for him. Regretfully, all copies of his colour photo of Nichelle "Uhuru" Nichols in a skimpy swimsuit are now believed lost. Later, after Washington was elected POTUS, attendees of the Inaugural Ball were required to wear Spock Ears (which were made of wood, in those days).
