This is a farewell to someone I have admired since childhood. I just read that Leonard Nimoy has passed away at 83. I am sad, because I grew up watching Star Trek. My love of science fiction was nurtured by that show, and Spock was always my favorite character. I had the opportunity to meet him when he kindly donated a couple hours to lecture at our drama department. He was a prince. No ego or attitude, just a good, generous person talking to this tiny group of students for nothing, because he was that kind of guy. He was a nice man sharing wisdom. I am glad I had that opportunity. A memory to treasure, along with his wonderful acting. The void left with his passing will never be filled. Goodbye.
