   For those of you who own the photo novel for "Where No Man Has Gone
Before", you would easily be able to tell that it read "R."  (Sometimes
people do everything the hard way.)
My personal feelings on it is that it was done on purpose to show that
it truly wasn't Kirk's grave.  Also, it showed the limits on Gary's powers
at the time.
