Reason #11 to attend Mountain-Con 4

It's been about three weeks since we highlighted one of our awesome guests, so I guess it's time to do so again.

Reason #11 to attend Mountain-Con:
Herb Jefferson Jr.

Mr. Herb Jefferson Jr. may be known best for his role as "Boomer" on the original Battlestar Galactica, but is by no means the whole of his career.

Some of Mr. Jefferson's other roles include Baxter in "Columbo: Playback", Muntzy in "Knight Rider: Knight of the Phoenix" (i.e. the "Knight Rider" pilot), Otis Barnes in "The Devlin Connection", and a news reporter in "Apollo 13." Mr. Jefferson has guest starred in numerous television shows, including "Airwolf", "The Dukes of Hazzard", "Mission: Impossible", "ER", and "Hill Street Blues".

Mr. Jefferson's latest role is an appearance in the film: "Star Trek: Of Gods and Men", which will be shown in its entirety at Mountain-Con this September (see "Reason" #9).

Herb Jefferson Jr. is also supporter of our Armed Forces, and is involved in organizations like the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve "Toys For Tots" program, the USO, and the California Paralyzed Veterans Association. As Mountain-Con will be near Hill Air Force base this year, we hope that the soldiers will come out and visit with Mr. Jefferson, who would be pleased to see all of you!
