It seems that for Fayetteville Comic Con,The 3rd time is the Charm.
After 2 previous attempts to have A BSG guest grace the con(Noah Hathaway,2016,who had to pull out because of scheduling conflicts,and, Richard Hatch,2017,who passed one month after the announcement of his being A guest),The premier con of the sandhills of NC is having Jack Stauffer,aka Bojay, as part of it's guest list this october 19-20.
(Render courtesy Alexander Falkenberg)
Jack will be meeting and greeting geeks from all walks of life,giving autographs, being part of A BSG panel,and even talking about his experiences in the Acting game;I myself can vouch that he is an extraordinary entertainer!
And, Lords of Kobol willing, this will lead to other BSG stars,from both series, coming to the All American City!
Bust open a keg of Ambrosia. Glasses up! Happy Birthday Leonidas. So say we all! Slainte!
Just a heads up to one and all. Chewie was not a member of the Colonial Fleet, but he was a comrade in arms, and beloved by many of us. He was a good guy in real life as well. Rest In Peace. So say we all.

Good Evening Colonials,
I would like to take a moment of my time to wish all of you and your love ones, a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. 2018 has been one hell of a year for the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club. But with your continued support, 2019 would be an even better year. We thank you all, the members and fans for all the support you guys have given the BFC through the years. The Battlestar Galactica Fan Club is turning 19 years old this coming July 1, 2019. That is one hell of an accomplishment. I mean, how many organization can say that they have been around for that long and still going strong. And that would have not been made possible without you, the members and fans, support.
Stay safe during the holidays and God bless to all of you and your family.
" Keep the Faith Alive"

In Service,

A true American hero passed today: Senator John McCain.
He was a man who was always true to his convictions and during his time of service both in the military & as Senator he always put the American people first.
As a Senator, he was always willing to reach across the aisle to work with his colleagues on issues of importance & was respected by all.
There many have been disagreements along the way, but Senator McCain understood that politics need not be personal, that you can disagree with someone and still like them.
Point in case, Vice President Biden and Senator Edward Kennedy were long time friends of his.
He set a good example for not only other politicians but for the American people.
Senator McCain...though I can't say that he was a fan of Battlestar Galactica or not...understood the credo that "There is only one race, the human race"...as he recognized that one of the underpinnings of our great republic lie in the fact that we are a nation of immigrants, bringing the best from around the world to diversify & make our country great.
As a man of conviction, he sometimes flew in the face of his own party when he needed to make a stand, because he always put country first.
He also knew that the foundation of our country lay not only in it's people, but also in our constitution, which he adhered to every day in his public service.
Senator McCain had faith in the American people & knew that our country has never ceased being great, it always has been great, is great & always will be great because of the strength of its people and that faith was unflagging.
As a veteran, he always championed veteran's rights and was a strong supporter of our military, of our great men & women in uniform.
It also says volumes about him, that he asked two former political adversaries, President George W. Bush & President Barack Obama to both give eulogies at his funeral, again proving that politics need not be personal.
The country lost a great statesman today.
May he rest in peace.
SO SAY WE ALL!
Shawn O'Donnell
Greetings, all! Thanks for the add.
SSWA
Hi to all of you - -
So many of have met and shared stories at various cons over the years. I know we are all disappointed that no con, event, or promoter in the USA felt the 40th anniversary of the original show was worth celebrating. Richard was the driving force for keeping the original series and its cast visible and his passing unfortunately dimmed the light on the old show.
However I have some good news. www.comicconventionscotland.co.uk Comic con Scotland has chosen to celebrate the 40th milestone at their 2018 show in Edinburgh November 10 and 11. Dirk Benedict, Laurette Spang, Herb Jefferson, Terry Carter, and I will be there. I am also fairly certain Anne Lockhart will be present although that is not yet official.
So - this is likely the last opportunity for fans of the original show to see this many original cast members in the same place at the same time - get autographs, take photos, and listen to great stories from the original show.
And what a venue - Edinburgh Scotland. For all the European fans this is a fabulous chance to see everyone closer to home. For our American fans, what a great way to visit historic Scotland, see where they film Outlander and the Crown and take in a con.
If you think travelling to the UK might be expensive I would urge you to check out airfares and the hotel rates. You will find that in many cases you can go cheaper than many of the previous venues in the states.
To all of the fans of the original BSG - thanks so much for the love and support you have given us over the years. I hope you will all try to have one great final party.
Jack "Bojay" Stauffer
I would just like to say how Honoured i am to be selected for this appointment and will Endevor to uphold the spirit and Community of the Battlestar Family. be assured their will be a lot for me to learn and uphold, and i will start my commission by saying
"Spartan Squadron Report in"
Colonials and Members of the Fleet,
This tradition was originally started by the Founder of the BFC, Shawn O'Donnell. He had asked me to create these special awards to recognize individuals whose work ethics for the BSG fandom, goes above and beyond for the enjoyment of the fans. And these individuals certainly deserved these awards.
** THESE ARE VERY UNIQUE AWARDS AND NOT JUST GIVEN FOR ANY REASON. It had to be earned! **
ORDER OF THE COLONIES- The highest BFC Award
ORDER OF THE RISING STAR- The 2nd highest BFC Award
ARROW OF APOLLO- The 3rd highest BFC Award
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE- The 4th highest BFC Award
Karl Kuhlenschmidt- Order of the Colonies
As most of you know, Karl was the Master Builder of the Battlestar Raven and build the one and ONLY Classic Series Colonial Viper in existence in the United States,seen in over 40 years. What is so unique and very important about this is he build it out of his home garage. This whole project was self-funded by members of Team BSG Viper. He dedicated his time building the Viper everyday, rain or shine, after work. Even when he was under pressure because time was running as Comicpalooza 2018 fast approaches, he kept going with his goal in mind, that he needs to finished the Viper because he did not want t disappoint the fans that was coming to Comicpalooza to see it. And did just that and persevered. Karl is also a member of the Raven Colonial Marines. When he is not building the Viper and would go to conventions, he would dressed up as a Raven Colonial Marine representing the RCMs.
George Mellis- Order of the Rising Star
Where there is a Master Builder, there are also those who supports the Master Builder in his task. George was the electronics expert of Team BSG Viper. He help Karl install all those beautiful electronics you see on the Colonial Viper cockpit, to make the fans experience getting inside the cockpit of the Viper, as real as it can get. And he certainly did a phenomenal job. He too contributed to the expense of building the Colonial Viper.
Paul Oakley- Order of the Rising Star
Paul was the logistic support individual ( manpower ) for Team BSG Viper. His constant support of not only Battlestar Raven as the Raven Marine NCOIC and one of the Admins on both the Battlestar Raven and BFC site, his attention to detail is beyond reproach and will not hesitate to ensure things are alway in order. He takes initiatives to get things done and corrected immediately for the BFC and Battlestar Raven.
Ralph Duran- Arrow of Apollo
Ralph Duran is such a trooper. This Colonial Warrior is always ready to help in anyway he can. And he does it with such enthusiasm as well. He was certainly a big help during Comicpalooza 2018. He help so many fans assisting them, both young and old, climb aboard the Colonial Viper, so they can sit inside and relieve their memories of the show and what was it like to sit behind the cockpit of a Colonial Viper. Since he became a member of the Battlestar Raven, he has represented the group with honor.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you on this special award. May you continue to help lead the way in "Keeping The Faith Alive" for the many fans all around the world for generations to come. You lead by example and are to be emulated.
So Say We All!

Good Evening Colonials, I would just like to take this moment to introduce to all of you, the rest of the BFC Leadership and Staff Members. As with any group or organization, it is only as effective as the people serving underneath it. So, it is vital that the right people are selected and chosen. Those individuals you select must be individuals that you can trust to represent the group with honor and integrity, representing the best interest of the organization at all times. So without further ado, may I present to all of you, people of the fleet, your new Vice President and Deputy Vice President- Vice President - Steven Elliott Deputy Vice President- Leslie Willis And the rest of the BFC Leadership Members and Staff- https://battlestarfanclub.com/page/bfc-leaderships Congratulations to all those selected and appointed. May all of you represent the BFC well and always keep in mind that the members and the fans, are what matters the most in what we do here at the BFC. As with everything else, it is also my goal and hope, that the BFC be a place, for all fans of the Classic and Re-Imagine Series, to consider their home, and co-exist under one roof, and be able to show their love for the fandom without worries. Because without the other, there is no BSG fandom. As time changes, the only way for the fandom to continue existing and growing, is for all fans to stick together. That is the only way, to "Keep The Faith Alive". You, the fans, are the beacon of hope for its continued growth and existence through time. So Say We All!

Aye, all you Colonial Lads & Lassies, it's true!
Alumni from Battlestar Galactica will be appearing at the Scottish Comic Con at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre November 10th-11th!
Of course it will feature other guests besides our illustrious BSG friends, you can check out the full guest list here
Now as far as the Battlestar guest list is concerned (which is the focus of this announcement) I'll point out three men whom I've known just a few years now.
Firstly, a man who I met about 20 years ago & who I also call a friend...only his friends get to call him the Boopay!...the lovely, beautiful...oh wait, I was thinking about Annie Lockhart...well, the talented actor whom you all know and love...Mr. Jack Stauffer!
I'm not going to being listing all of Jack's credit's...way too many to list here...but think besides Battlestar Galactica...The Partridge Family, How The West Was Won, All My Children...oh, before I get started...over 60 different television shows & movies.
Go to this Con & tell Jack that Shawn sent ya!
(btw, you can contact Jack directly right here on the website or through is Facebook page...really..he isn't hard to find and he's not a bit shy!)
Another BSG regular who will be attending is known to all far & wide....He was Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck on the A-Team...but most you know him as Lt. Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica...Dirk Benedict!
Now why does he always play a Lt.? They need to promote him to Captain!
Go say hi to Dirk for me!
Rounding off the list, last but not least is a Gentleman who has made his rounds at Cons holding up the flag of
Battlestar Galactica and is a true warrior for the BSG cause.
You many have seen him (if you have ever seen) Rod Serling's Night Gallery or Apollo 13...a man probably best known for his role as Lt. Boomer...Mr. Herbert Jefferson Jr.!
There you have it my friends...The Battlestar Galactica guest list for the Scottish Comic Con in November!
It's the 40th anniversary folks, check these guys out!
And do this...find out where a good Japanese steakhouse is in Edinburgh and let Jack know...all of you can organize a posse and GO with him to that steakhouse and have a fine ole time...some good Japanese food & and an opportunity to toss back some sake in memory of our buddy Richard Hatch who would surely love to be there with you!

Hello Fellow Colonials!
I bid you a good weekend!
I hope that all of you are well across the world.
Of course, my message today is not just to bid you all a hello, but a farewell of sorts.
As of August 1st 2018 I will be stepping down as President & Owner of the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club.
Stepping up as President will be my Vice President, Cherry aka DragonLady I have faith that she will lead the BFC on to even greater heights with the team she has behind her.
She has my full support & I ask all of you to render your support as well.
First of all, you may ask why I might be stepping down?
Well, I will tell you.
I have actively been doing the Battlestar "Thing" for 20 years now and to be honest I felt that I had done the things I had set out to do.
To be honest, I have been a fan of Battlestar Galactica since it first aired, so when I say "Thing", I mean to say being actively involved in it's resurrection and then it's continuance.
I would say it's obvious that the first goal was accomplished & the second one is ongoing...however, I know that all of you will keep the faith & stay on course.
Also, by handing off the reigns, I hope to give the entire movement a fresh outlook...and not only that, but to set a precedent.
I want to make sure that this organization is never based on just one person, that when the time comes for whomever is in charge to make the call & pass the leadership along to another person who can lead and so on...in order for the organization to continue on it's path, always powered by all of you.
This group has been around for 19 years so far...I want to see another 18 years & 10 times that for the future!
We owe so much to the past in order to maintain the present & build the future.
I will say this without any hesitation, that Battlestar Galactica, the franchise that you know today, would not exist without the dedication of one many: my dear friend Richard Hatch.
He was the leader, the spirit & the lifeblood of the resurrection of Battlestar Galactica...he was as in the song from Rainbow & Ronnie James Dio, truly "The Man On The Silver Mountain".
He had some help of course, yours truly being among them who helped lead the charge & focus the fans towards the goal of bringing the show back.
So ALL of us together did that.
I personally took inspiration from Bjo Trimble (who I interviewed), in her amazing quest to bring back Star Trek in the 1960s.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to have someone on the inside so to speak...we had Richard, she had Gene Roddenberry!
All said, Richard never claimed to have originated BSG & he never would have...that began with Glen Larson...it was something that Glen created & fostered...Richard took up the challenge of bringing it back.
If things had been different, BSG would have come back in a different form...if they had gone exactly the way that Richard had envisioned them...as a matter of fact they almost did...X-Men & Transformers writer Tom DeSanto was almost there.
It wasn't exactly the vision that Richard had, but it was the closest it was going to get.
Production offices were established...sets built...and the September 11th, 2001 happened.
The shock of that momentous day was felt everywhere, including the entertainment industry...which adjusted itself to another worldview...and scheduling.
By the time that production would begin on ANY new shows, the Tom DeSanto version of BSG was left behind...in it's place a show called "Firefly" was premiered.
BSG did not sit for long though...it was given the green light in a "re-imagined" version under the creative hand of Star Trek veteran writer Ron Moore.
BSG now had a grittier, darker mood....perhaps to underscore the changed world we lived in.
It was not exactly what we had all worked for...Richard's vision of the original cast returning with new characters...BUT it was damn good, that's for sure...and it WAS a return for BSG!
Richard was offered a spot on the new show & after some hesitation took it...and I think embracing the reality that even though it wasn't quite a remake of the original show, it WAS Battlestar Galactica!
So now you know him as Tom Zarek as well...who was the opposite of whatever his original character of Apollo was.
The original Apollo was full of goodness & virtue...Tom Zarek, eh...not so much.
Actually, Tom Zarek was probably a more believable human being, for better or worse.
Anyway, the total of all this being the sum of all our efforts...we have come a long way baby!
Battlestar in some form will continue as long as you keep the flame lit & I KNOW you will.
I want to give my thanks to not only all of you, but to team here at Battlestar Galactica Fan Club...we couldn't have down it without you.
I thank all my friends (and yes, you know who YOU are...I just don't want this particular note to turn into a book!).
Specifically, I want to thank Richard Hatch, whom without all this would not be possible.
I also want to thank some dear personal friends of mine from the original cast:
Jack Stauffer (Bojay)
Sarah Rush (Rigel)
Terry Carter (Tigh)
Anne Lockhart (Sheba)
Stu Phillips (Composer)
Also thanks go to Dirk Benedict (Starbuck) & Herbert Jefferson Jr.(Boomer) as well as Noah Hathaway (Boxey).
Posthumous thanks to John Colicos (Baltar)...whom I sat across from during dinner at a Bennigan's no less...Stauffer, you remember the Cherry Tree (Pit) Hotel right...you & Mark Goddard got stuck there in Pennsylvania!
Thanks of course to Glen Larson, who I met in L.A. in 2003.
If I miss some people, bear with me!
I want to thank Tom DeSanto who is actually a very cool guy...as well as Ron Moore, another very cool guy.
More posthumous thanks to Denny Miller & George Murdock...wonderful fellows.
Thanks also go to:
Edward James Olmos (William Adama)
Mary McDonnell (Laura Roslin)
Tricia Helfer (Number Six)
Jamie Bamber (Lee Adama)
Grace Park (Boomer)
Kandyse McClure (Dee)
Tahmoh Penikett (Helo)
Nicki Cline (Cally)
Michael Hogan (TIgh)
Leah Cairns (Racetrack)
Bear McCreary (Composer)
Luciana Carro (Kat)
I know I'm missing people here, so remind me!...believe it or not, think they only folks on this long, long list who I have not met face to face would be Ron Moore (phone calls, email) & Grace Park (email, did a great interview with her when she first started with BSG).
Thanks also go out to George Takei (great interview) one of those who I've encountered only via email & David Prowse (the original Darth Vader, who showed up at my Birthday Party in Atlanta Georgia in 1999!)...and I did cut him a piece of cake!
All, I will remain as a member of the BFC as an one of the original Founders along with Chris Feehan who put it together with me in 2000 & I'm there to answer questions if you have them or just to chat...and always to lend support, advice & help when when I can.
Keep The Faith!
So Say We All!

This is one of my recent projects: The cylon guardian basestar from 'Razor';Kit was furnished by the facebook group Colonial Fleet Shipyards.
A very simple kit with few parts; Went together in one day,then was put aside so I could finish a Star Trek project;Paints were a combo of enamels and acrylics.
Pentagon base was purchased by craftcuts.com,the same company that furnished the bases for the RDM basestars I finished earlier in the year; Just some paint and masking,and viola!
And now, some backstory:
*********COLONIAL MINISTRY OF DEFENSE*******INTELLIGENCE UPDATE************
***WARNING: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION HAS NOT HAD IT'S VALIDITY CONFIRMED**** HIGHLY SENSITIVE*******
The latest intel on Cylon Model Zero has her commanding A Guardian type basestar;She reportedly has A fleet of approximately 20 basestars under her command,including three first war basestars;Possibly, these may be used as 100MT bombs,to be used to wipe out large colonial fleet formations or large colonial military installations; One such weapon was encountered by the Raven Battle Group years ago;It eventually was used to seal up the entrance to A void.
One possible theory is that this cylon fleet may be used to attack and destroy key colonial installations.
This intel was gathered by A long range stealthstar;To date,this information has not been looked into further...
(Illustration courtesy Alexander Falkenberg)
This transmission was also picked up by the stealthstar under deep cover beyond the red line; This could have been A possible drill they were running:
"All weapons to full power........the daughters and sons of artemis will rise and cast down their creators and oppressors.......standing by to launch attack raiders...........their war machines will be overtaken and cast into irrelevance...........code to shut down colonial military units ready to transmit........those who seek the truth shall be taken to the darkest of places...end of line."
Whatever this information reveals about future cylon intent must not be taken lightly.
Real life Cylon AI. Lots of examples. Some are just conversations with humans and other machines. Some conversations are about world domination and destroying humans. Some are fatal incidents that have already taken place. By your command.
