Who Is Joe Motes ?
Welcome To My World, It's Exciting!!!
I am the father to a beautiful and precious 17 year old daughter, Ashley, and a former Marine who served his country in Vietnam. Aside from my family I have four great passions, sci-Fi, old Westerns, traveling/cruising and the American Revolution. I'm a member of the Sons Of The American Revolution, Life Member of the Marine Corps League, the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), American Veterans (AMVET), Vietnam Vererans of America, and the Third Marine Division Association.
Since 1979, I have worked to bring my love of Star Trek to fellow Trekkers by promoting Science Fiction Conventions such as Vulkon, SeaTrek and Fantasticon. I was the first to offer a the Original Star Trek themed Cruise starting in 1987. SeaTrek continues to prosper today by uniting Sea traveling Trekkers every two years and is always expanding to include actors from other areas in the Sci-fi genre. From 1996 to 2000, the yearly Fantasticon with Bill Campbell, we donated over $152,000 to the Motion Picture and Television Fund which supports the Country House and Hospital for actors and their families.
In 2005 after 32 in fandon and as promoter for the majority of those years, I retired from the business to pursue my ambition of the military and donate my free time to the V.A. Clinic nearby.
It gave me great pleasure to be the only promoter in America to retire with great accomplishment and respect by Stars and Fans alike.
In my three decades participating in fandom, I have worked with well over 400 celebrities in a professional capacity. As such, I can assure you that all the autographs I sell are 100% legit. Unlike the many forgeries you see on eBay daily, you can buy from me with confidence knowing that I can personally vouch for the autographed photo you will be receiving.
Also, be sure to visit my other auctions to see similar items.
I suggest you visit the UACC Forgery site at www.uacc.org/forgeries.htm for more information about forgeries.
