That's a good question. He was Jewish and definitely had a deep faith, (I just assumed), worldly people never impose their religion on others. He was an extraordinarily kind and thoughtful human being, so maybe that was associated with his upbringing but it was just who he was.

I don't remember the subject of cars ever coming up so I guess, maybe? When I knew him, (thinking it was in the very late '80s or early '90s), I was broke and not really doing much with cars myself so I was not driving anything that would have been a conversation starter. I finally started making some coin in about Y2K and bought a 911, that's when I joined Pelican!
I've met so many interesting people in my life, both famous and not, that I had actually not thought of Leonard for a long time until this thread sparked my memory. Crazy thing is, I never watched Star Trek as a kid unless it was on at a friend's house.I've never seen any of the ST films. Science fiction is just not my thing...never has been. So I was as far from a super fan as you could get with Nimoy but of course I realized that he and the series had a massive following.
He wrote a couple of books of poetry and gave me one inscribed. I'll try to find it and post a picture if I do. I'm going through a big house cleaning as I get old myself and it's buried here somewhere.
