For those that don’t know, today marks the passing of Leonard Nimoy at age 83.
Grimstonefire:
Damn. That’s a shame.
I actually thought he was over 90.
TheHoodedMan:
Time to watch some old movies again. Farewell :hat off.
Fuggit Khan:
A great loss 
I met him once in San Francisco, back in 1986 for the Star Trek 20th anniversary convention (yes, I’m that old)…a really, really nice guy who was surprisingly funny and smiling constantly.
Quite the opposite of his stern humorless Vulcan alter ego.
Dînadan:
On the bright side you can now claim to have two degrees of separation to him ;)A great loss :(You met him?. Wow pretty cool. I'm getting a bit envious.

There was a huge long line of people waiting to get his signature, probably about 400+ people in his line. The shortest line for signatures was the line for Majel Barrett (nurse Chapel)...there was only maybe 20 people in her line. So I hopped in her line and then felt like an idiot once I got to the front of the line and realized that I had nothing for her to sign. I had no paper, no photo, nothing. Digging through my pockets desperately looking for something for her to sign, I pulled out the only 'paper' that I had. A single $1 dollar bill. I nervously asked her if she would sign a dollar bill...she rolled her eyes, frowned and said "I don't sign $1 dollar bills".
And then she opened up her purse, pulled out a $20 dollar bill and said "But I do sign $20 dollar bills"...she signed the $20 bill and gave it to me.
Class act by a classy lady.
An hour or so later, while Leonard Nimoy was taking a break from signatures (and still 400+ people standing in his line waiting...) he came up to me and smiled, shook my hand and told me how Majel Barrett had pointed me out to him with the story. He thought it was hilarious and we chatted for about 15 minutes.
He then signed the back of my punk leather jacket in white paint, right above the "Chaos UK" logo.
A great day.

Awesome story! And the best way to beat a 400+ line of people! Two autographs, 20 bucks and some pretty rad grafitti on the leather!Ah, but there is more to the story when I met him:A great loss :(You met him?. Wow pretty cool. I'm getting a bit envious.
