I'm sorry to hear that. Jeri Taylor went to Indiana University in my home town of Bloomington, Indiana. That's why Janeway was born there. She put the place I was born and raised into the future and I will be forever grateful to her for that as much as I am for her Star Trek contributions.

I forgot to say, if you ever visit Bloomington, visit the Janeway statue.

I am big fan of voyager and janeway's character, but dear lord, is that statue hideous. (I would still visit given the chance).

Yeah, I can't say I love it, but I guess that's what you get when you have to pay for it with crowdfunding. A cheaper artist.
