Leonard Nimoy Dies

from The New York Times


Leonard Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. He was 83.

His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death, saying the cause was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Mr. Nimoy announced last year that he had the disease, which he attributed to years of smoking, a habit he had given up three decades earlier. He had been hospitalized earlier in the week.

Where No Fan Has Gone Before…

Ken O'Brien

Having focused heavily of late on serious matters, both local and national, I thought it might be nice to lighten the mood.
Having been a fan of Star Trek since it first graced our TV screens in the 1960’s I really enjoyed the following trilogy. Whether an old “trekker” or a newbie, I hope you too will find them as amusing as I did.
