	New questions for the panel of exeperts!

	I seem to recall that (before STIII) Spock was reported to be
111 years old.  I'm very unsure of the source -- either the pilot with
Captain Pike or out of the Star Trek Reader series of books.  First of
all, can anyone substantiate this?  Secondly, if this is true, what type
of years are these -- Vulcan or Earther?  And, finally, if Spock is
111 Earth years old, how can his mother, Amanda, still be kicking?!!

	I don't think Earth medical care by the 23rd century is enough
to prolong life that much.  In STII & STIII, Kirk is concerned with be-
coming old after a mere 20 odd years of service.  (15 years between first
appearance of Khan and second appearance + ~3 years as Captain of the
Enterprise before the first appearance of Khan + ~x years as Ensign on up.)

	Another good question!  How old is James T. Kirk (as opposed
to William Shatner), and how long has he been with Starfleet?

	Hope to hear from you soon!
