VULCAN, a small town in Canada, has been obsessed about all things "Star Trek" for as long as anyone can remember, but there was always something - or someone - missing. Until Friday.
Leonard Nimoy, Mr Spock from the 1960s TV series, finally fulfilled the dreams of the farming community that shares the name of his character's planet by paying a visit.
His remarks to Vulcanites, many decked out in their homemade "Star Trek" uniforms, were, well, logical.
"I have been a Vulcan for 44 years - I figured it was time I came home," the 79-year-old actor said to wild cheers at a ceremony in the town center. Vulcan, a community of 2,000 people, has for years identified with the show.
There is a model of the USS Enterprise space ship at the turnoff from the highway and pictures of Spock adorn buildings downtown.
Nimoy listed numerous honors bestowed on him over the years for his work in the role, but said Vulcan's tribute was the most touching.
"Wait until Bill Shatner hears about this," he said.
