William Shatner Appreciation Society Newsletter

William Shatner Appreciation Society Newsletter was published by the fan club William Shatner Appreciation Society .
The newsletters appear to have been published roughly every two months. Once a year, the club also published a journal.
The first journal (1973) contains a story by Shirley Maiewski.
==Possible Predecessor?==
As of mid-1971, a club with this same name was being run by Sue Clejan (out of California). Perhaps Clejan passed the club along to Kotar, or they could have been two unrelated clubs with the same name at different times. 
The first issue has contributions by both Sues, so the two Sues were certainly in contact with each other.
