The Star Trek legend was celebrated during his April (10) visit to the region, which shares its name with the home planet of his most famous character Mr. Spock, and has become a popular tourist attraction for fans of the franchise.
Nimoy, who announced his retirement from Hollywood in April (10), visited the town and even posed next to a bronze statue of his likeness, before watching the locals put on a procession.
And the sci-fi icon admits he was delighted with the small-town tribute.
He says, "I've never had an experience as touching as that in my life. Spock has been a role model for a lot of people by showing dignity, intelligence and professionalism. I'm very proud of that."
I wish more people had dignity, self-respect, pride in their appearance, intelligence, kindness towards others, and plain ol' common courtesy. I find it wonderful that a town holds such positive ideals so dear and I hope that more people around the world would regain some self-respect.
Bravo Vulcan, Live Long and Prosper. HERE is the link to the article.
