Thanks, for reminding me about this! Forgot to post this and the loss of Mr. Spock. Just got around to posting that one after reading it again on Ken's site. Too many things, so little time...

I just found out this morning on the New Bro. Last bight I watch the last appearance of Spock in Star Terk. He was my favorite of the bunch. Now they have my kids... I was never a great fan but did watch them from time to time, for lack of anything on ...how it was very interesting an before it's time!

regards,

Sadly, there were a lot of "firsts" like this but were either not well known or hidden.
