Hucks: Remembering Spock
As a kid, former Coeur d’Alene Councilman Mike Kennedy remembers visiting the Beverly Hills home of his aunt and uncle. His relatives weren’t typical. His aunt, Anna (aka Patty Duke), and his uncle, John Astin, had solid movie and television credentials. His cousin Sean, of course, made a name for himself, too. Many watched Sean, as Samwise Gamgee, carry Frodo and the “one ring to rule them all” up the side of Mount Doom. On his Facebook wall, Mike posted this after the death of Leonard Nimoy: “On their street they had two close neighbors whose names I recognized: Carroll O’Connor and Leonard Nimoy. They are now both gone, but I remember how much my family respected and loved them and their artistry. RIP, Mr. Spock. I’m sure you are having a whale of a time with Archie Bunker now.” Spock? Archie? Now that’s an odd couple/DFO, Sunday Huckleberries. More here.
