[Ads-l] 1968 Usage of "Trekkie" ?

[Shapiro, Fred]

Jesse,

The OED and HDSF have a 1969 citation found by me as their earliest use of the word "trekkie."

The website fanlore.org sets forth an alleged 1968 usage of this word:

https://fanlore.org/wiki/Trekkie_(glossary_term)

Has anyone checked out this alleged source ?
