Leonard Nimoy, best known for his role as Spock in the original Star Trek television series, dressed as Mr. Spock. Live long and prosper! I believe the child might actually be his son.
On this day in 1966 a legend began when the first episode of Star Trek entitled "The Man Trap" premiered on NBC. This was the first episode aired on television although the sixth episode that was filmed. While Star Trek was canceled in 1969, the show has spawned endless movies, spin-offs and a number of technological advances which are credited to the creativity of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Are you a Star Trek or Star Wars person?
For about a month in the mid-1980s the cnetral library in Buffalo hosted an all-day weekend screening series of about two dozen 35mm projection prints of assorted episodes in their auditorium. It was glorious seeing these near-mint film prints on the screen!
Since the photos in the article I linked to earlier have been removed, here are some articles about Mr. Nimoy and his son Adam from sites which will hopefully keep the photos available longer.
Leonard Simon Nimoy (1931-2015), a multifaceted creative force, left an indelible mark on the realms of acting, directing, photography, and literature.
Best known for his iconic portrayal of Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise, Nimoy's artistic journey was a fusion of captivating performances, artistic exploration, and a profound influence that transcended generations.

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here.
If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
I am researching Tasker, Jones, Bowen, Rees of Wales; Kroetch, Chartrand of Canada; and Boggs, Ferguson, Smith, of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Also Steeples of Kansas. And on my mother's New England roots - well, too numerous to name since she descends from Mayflower passengers as well as Dutch East India captains who arrived with their families before the Mayflower landed further north than was planned. :) I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Director). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in Campbell (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our current Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
