It was two years ago today, June 15, 2013, that I saw Leonard Nimoy in New York City, and on his way out of the Symphony Space Theater, he let me get his picture taken with him. (You can read the whole story here). Knowing now what we didn’t know then (about his COPD) it was especially nice of him to oblige me, for I’m sure he was tired. I’ll never forget seeing him that day, and so thankful I did. Bless Mr. Nimoy and his memory. 🙂

As George Takei’s labor of love Allegiance goes to Broadway this fall, it seemed a great time to remember what good friend George was with Leonard. I found some wonderful pictures, not just from their TOS days, but though ST:IV and in 2012 when Leonard went to see the pre-Broadway version of Allegiance. I’m so glad Leonard got to see his friend George’s wonderful musical, and I hope I’ll see it too! The final picture was taken in 2014. I’m sure George misses his friend. ❤
Also note the wonderful picture here on the ST:IV set, where the little boy (Sulu’s great-great-great-great… grandfather in the story) is shyly standing in front of Leonard. Sorry that scene of Sulu and his distant relative was never filmed, but the idea of it was was sweet.

If you didn’t catch the Tony Awards last night, in the memorial section Leonard’s picture was among the many 😦 I do love the photo they chose to represent him; one of my favorites. I’ll add a copy of that picture when I find it!
Leonard had done a couple of plays on Broadway, Full Circle and Equus. And he had a theater named after him at Symphony Space in NYC. I’m glad the Tony’s remembered him as more than Mr. Spock.

Hey Kids,
I’ve always been fascinated by the beautiful use of light and color on the Original Series. Those colored gels on what were really just grey walls gave the series a magical, yet cozy feel. For a sci-fi show on a tight budget, it gave the whole series a special nuance of calm; like stained glass windows in a church.
Inspired by this lighting magic, I started playing around with images on Photoshop the other night and created these ‘stained-glass’ images. I kept the faces clear of lines so as not to distract from their beauty.
I bet I’ll do a lot of these! (I’m even giving them their own category).Here’s Spock from Whom Gods Destroy and Uhura from The Tholian Web.
Enjoy the serenity, Therese ❤
I used this picture in a memorial birthday collage for Leonard in March, but I’ve been meaning to use it here too –Just a lovely profile 🙂

From 2010, a photo of Isaiah Sheffer, host of ‘Symphony Space’ in NYC with Leonard Nimoy, a frequent reader of stories on the show. Both are in the great library in the sky now, but left a great legacy.
I’ve had a busy few days, accompanying my son to Baltimore for a school trip. and we got home late last night, I’ve been resting much of today, and just turned on the radio, and to my delight, a familiar voice was booming from the speakers: Leonard was telling stories on “Selected Shorts”, and this was a special show in his memory!
Selected Shorts was (and is) recorded in Symphony Space in New York City – Mr. Nimoy was a regular and much loved as a reader of many short stories. This was a tribute show to Leonard: Here’s the podcast, Enjoy! 🙂

With the news that dear Grace Lee Whitney passed away on May 1st, it seemed only logical to have some pictures of Leonard and Grace here. Rest in Peace to two wonderful souls. ❤ (I’ll post a full tribute to Grace soon) I love the last one on the movie set.
It’s late April already! (and almost my birthday) so I better post my annual “April with Paris” edition of Weekly Spock and get some desperately needed Paris time!
