Actually, as a few wise loremasters reminded me, the first captain of the
Enterprise was Robert April, who commanded that good ship during her
shakedown cruise. The First officer, however, was George Kirk (you got
it--Jim Kirk's father). To add another bit of trivia to this massively
off--topic email, we fiind this out as Jim Kirk reads letters sent to him
as a youth from his dad while Kirk Jr. is on leave, shortly after the
death of Edith Keeler (City on the Edge of Forever).
If we could possibly get more off topic, let me know. Still, I hope this
brings at least a little pleasure to some of you.

Trivia question: The United Space Ship Enterprise's second captain was
James T. Kirk. Who was her first captain? Extra credit: What does the
"T" in Kirk's name stand for? The first captain (other than Robert April
who served for a short time as Enterprise's captain during her shakedown
cruise) to command Enterprise after its commissioning was Christopher
Pike, played by Jeffrey Hunter in the dual episode entitled "Menagerie,"
which was cobbled together from scenes taken here and there from the
pilot, called "The Cage." The "T" in James "T." Kirk stands for
"Tiberias."
