I saw the documentary that his son did. In watching it, I realized that at the time Leonard Nimoy was born in Boston and at the hospital in which he was born, my grandmother was a nurse. So, my grandmother was most likely inside the hospital when he was born and if she wasn't there at the time, she was there not long after.

He grew up not far from where my mother and her siblings grew up. We're talking about maybe half a mile to a mile in distance.
