## Resource

This week, The Trek Files returns to one of our most personal corners of Trek history. Reinelda Estupinian , known lovingly as Reina, joins us again to share rare family photos and her firsthand memories of life inside the Roddenberry household. Hired in 1974 as a nanny for six-month-old Rod Roddenberry, Reina became a trusted part of the family for over three decades, eventually working closely with Majel Barrett Roddenberry at Lincoln Enterprises. Reina shares candid and touching stories of those years: traveling with the family, managing Majel's whirlwind convention life, and offering emotional support through Gene's declining health and Majel's final days. With affection and a few sitcom-worthy anecdotes, she paints a vivid picture of the private lives behind Star Trek's public legacy. 📸 Document and additional references: A collection of rare Roddenberry family photos from Reina's personal archives The Trek Files Season 14 on Memory Alpha All episodes and documents: The Trek Files on Memory Alpha Visit the Trekland site for behind-the-scenes access and exclusive merchandise.
