Personal Stories of Leonard Nimoy.

Fans regale stories of how they met their favorite stars. They talk about chance encounters, questions they may have asked their favorite actors, etc. However, it is very rare that a person meets an actor and then becomes a personal family friend. In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, which celebrates what would have been the late Leonard Nimoy's 94th birthday, Wes sits down with Bonnie Moss, a close personal friend of the Nimoy family and she tells stories of how she met Nimoy and became friends with him and his family. A special shout out goes out to Trek Untold podcast host Matthew Kaplowitz for this very special episode.

Leonard Nimoy's death, ten years later, and the cultural impact of Spock, six decades later.

On February 27, 2015, the Star Trek family suffered a big blow when the original Spock actor, Leonard Nimoy, passed away at the age of 83, from COPD. His career was nearly 65 years, from not only as his role as Spock, but to other aspects of acting and hosting as well as other media. In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, which marks the tenth anniversary of Nimoy's passing, Wes is joined by fellow Star Trek fan Rob and two of them discuss Nimoy, and Spock.
