Leonard Nimoy’s Passing

"Star Trek" Los Angeles Premierespock

I know everyone knows about Leonard Nimoy’s passing this weekend, but I was out of town and did not have access to a computer.  Of course most people remember him for his most iconic role of Spock, of Star Trek, which I do as well.  However that wasn’t all he did and for a while he didn’t like Spock, as most stereo type roles happen with their actors.

Still after a time he was able to accept the role of Spock and what it meant to many people.  For me being a little more introverted and Logan even more with his Asperger’s, I saw a character that could thrive and have friends even with his differences from other people.  True he was technically an alien, but he was the one I identified with the most because of Spock’s personality.  I have grown out of my quietness for the most part, but I still revert at times and I am a very stoic person with fewer expressive emotions than most.

I know Star Trek means a lot to people in the scientific community, but for me it was the psychological end of Star Trek and Spock specifically that I will remember.  People knew Spock, but he only had a handful of true friends, which he treasured.  As I said I am that same way….people know me, but I have very few true friends and once they become that for me they are for the rest of my time.  Family that I love have an even more special place within my heart, but true friendship is right next to that level.

My instructors, over the years, this website and podcast have opened up a new avenue for me to meet new people for all areas of life and I have found I am not as alone as I sometimes think….I just wish we could all be in one place to have a good time any time we wanted.

Thank you for indulging me in this ramble and to the Nimoy family I send my deepest sympathies and prayers and know that your loved one touch some many people in so many different ways, this is but one. – Richard
