Spock Shock

Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy steeled his icy reserve by having to jump into the frigid waters of Long Pond in Parsonsfield at West End House Camp.

We were driving the coast, so to speak, I think maybe in a station wagon. He fell in love with wherever we went, and now he’d fallen in love with Maine. We talked excitedly in the car. We were looking for a house on the water. We did examine the place! We kept driving north along the water until I don’t really remember the name of the town. We went quite a ways up, actually, because it was so beautiful. To John, each place was more beautiful than the last." Portland Monthly interview with Yoko Ono by Colin W. Sargent, Summerguide 2003.
