DFKIAS Yearbook

DFKIAS Yearbook is a zine that combines information from and fanworks from members of The De Forest Kelley International Appreciation Society.
Some of the cover images below appear to be black and white photocopies; it is probable that all of the issue's covers were printed on blue paper. Lynn Campion is the artist. In the 1982/83 issue, she writes: "You may notice that I have decided to keep the same picture on the yearbook cover for a third year. This is not laziness on my part (ie it's not that I don't want to draw another picture) but a suggestion was made by some American friends that the "Space Cowboy" was a rather appropriate picture - so, we'll be keeping this for some time and I hope you agree with this action."
==DeForest & De Forest==
This club's publications spelled Kelley's name as "De Forest."
==1980-81==
==1981-82==
This issue contains 25 pages.
The editor notes that both staff of this zine (Jenny Elson and Marquita), had to step down due to time commitments. The editorial reports on De's appearances at cons, saying he looked good at Space Trek in April 1981, and a little more "tense" at The Ultimate Fantasy in Houston.Health problems may have been an issue at this con, but anybody would have been "tense" there, as that convention was a complete disaster. The editor's only comment on this con is that it "did not have the expected attendance numbers." She asks: 
* A Doctor A Day by Katie (about meeting DeForest Kelley in person)
* a full transcript of DeForest Kelley's speech at the 1981 New York City con in February (Kelley refers to it as "Spectrekular") transcribed by Lynn Campion
* a write-up of McCoy's career as it would have appeared in a fictional magazine—It has the preface "Dear Scotty, I was thumbing through the latest issue of "The Galactic Man" when I ran across this article about one of your shipmates. Thought you might be interested so I enclose it here." This "article" is by Lorraine Beatty.
* A Perfectly Ordinary Day, fiction by Jenny Elson
* Trekker, words to a poem or song by Dorothy Manning

There is some info about the next Trek movie, and a run-down of what cons Kelley had appeared at over the past year: Creation Con (Anaheim) in March 1985, Shore Leave (September 1985), Delta Con (Louisiana), and Creation Con (San Francisco) in November 1985.
