Susan has been an avid Star Trek fan since the original series in 1966.  Her enthusiasm was limited to collecting all the published novels and attending the movies until she went to her first Dragon*Con in the early 1990s.  There she discovered the Klingon Assault Group (KAG).  She resisted the temptation of joining KAG until early 1995.  Susan and her husband Jay are active members of KAG.  She is the commanding officer of the IKV Fek'lhr's Fury and is currently serving as Deputy Quadrant Commander of the Dark Phoenix Quadrant (Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama) of the Klingon Assault Group.  When Susan is not pursuing DPQ and Fury duties (i.e., paperwork), she can usually be found on the Undernet and EFnet's IRC channels as "KoHla."

Larry has lived in several places throughout the United States, Europe and even Japan, before settling down in Greensboro, North Carolina.  These moves have allowed him to experience many different cultures and languages.  Most likely, it's this exposure and his love for Star Trek which allow him to feel so at ease with his alter ego of the last five years:  Admiral Kroesh Septaric of the Klingon Assault Group.  As an Admiral in an international Star Trek fan club for Klingons, Larry is a commander directing more than forty chapters in a fleet that covers the Eastern time zone.  He is an accomplished leader and a great cook.
