Just need to write today and say thank you to Leonard Nimoy. I first discovered Star Trek through a neighbors house while cat sitting at the young age of six. They had the old one episode on tape vhs cassettes you can now find in yard sales everywhere. My whole fandom starts with Star Trek and everywhere it diverts to is because of that show.
Nimoy along with Shatner are the reason I am a geek, and it’s hard to express how their playing these roles changed my life. Unlike a lot of things that fascinate as a child, Star Trek continues to mean something as an adult and Mr Nimoy is an important part of that. He also lived his life as an artist and for that we should all salute him. Rest in peace sir. We will all try to live long and prosper because of you.
