About The Author
To quote Spock, “On that day I shall mourn” his retirement-but at 88 yrs young, he’s entitled.
Nimoy is one of a kind. When he finally does retire, it will be a sad day for Trek fans everywhere.
80, LadySlopokes. Not 88. 🙂 But yes, the point is well taken. I am still hanging on to hope I might be able to scrape up a way to get to Chicago for this one.
boy, what I’d give to be able to get to this con!
I thought Nimoy was born in 1931. Is he 80 or 88?
Leonard Nimoy, as Spock, has been one of my most favorites on the Star Trek series & movies. . . . .he taught me “logic” which I find to be most interesting!
Mr. Nimoy, you are truly one of a kind. I wish I could have a chance to meet you one of these days, but I can only dream. Many happy wishes and I thank you for the joy you have given me.
