The Super-Duper Anal Retentive BONC Timeline last update: 27 March 1996 (Beverly's age column added.) Most of my direct info is from the Trek Encyclopedia. I mean no harm in compiling this list, and certainly do not mean to make money off of it. If you want the full skinny I advise you to buy the Trek Encyclopedia by Denise Okuda, Mike Okuda, and Debbie Mirek (is that name right . . . ?). That said . . . here it is. ;) * = info listed as canon from the Encyclopedia [ ] = extrapolations with no real basis in fact whatsoever :-) Age Year JLP Bev Event ---- ----------- ----------------------------------- 2305* 0 -- Jean-Luc Picard is born. 2322 17 -- Picard fails Academy entrance exam. 2323 18 -- Picard begins Academy. 2324* 19 0 Beverly Howard born. 2327* 22 3 Picard graduates Starfleet Academy.

(to 2355) 2342* 37 18 Jean-Luc Picard has an affair with the future Jenice Manheim [I don't know if I can trust the date in the book though, since it lists their reunion as being "2364", which is listed as season 2 of TNG, not Season 1, which is when the episode "We'll Always . . ." occurs]. 2346 41 22 [Beverly graduates the Academy and begins Starfleet Medical. Jean-Luc Picard has affair with Miranda Vigo (Dinda's estimation).] 2347 42 23 [Walker introduces Jack to Bev. (Picard and Jack are already on the _Stargazer_; Walker was probably already a captain as well.) Shortly after, Picard meets Bev.

Wesley is 15. Captain Walker Keel is killed when the _Horatio_ is destroyed. 2365* 60 41 Beverly leaves the Enterprise to become head of Starfleet Medical. 2366* 61 42 Beverly returns to the Enterprise.
