My 3 minute poem

(In Search of . . . the next dimension.) Added later because I ean out of time!!!

Spock was my surrogate dad as I grew up My dad was alive but elsewhere My mind was filled with stars and meeting aliens I so wanted to be an astronaut once upon a time I was lucky enough to see Leonard Nimoy At a symposium during my college years What an amazing actor! He's still my mentor, even to this day See you, Spock, on the otherside one day (In Search of . . . the next dimension.)

Benjamin, Spock was my favorite character. I remember being so fascinated with space as a kid, avidly following up to the first moon landing. Your poem reminds me of that time. If my son's to be believed, he went to school with Leonard Nimoy's grandson.

I'm a fan, as you know. I once wrote a tribute to Spock long ago, one to Kirk as well. Live long and prosper
