Yep, that is indeed a picture of Leonard Nimoy and Jimi Hendrix hanging out.

and Eric Clapton on the far left

Got some updates: The guy on the far left is Noel Redding, bass player in The Experience!

My dad would have loved this - Hendrix & Star Trek, two of his favorite people/things.

Fr. John “the Muscovite” of Valaam

(1850-1933)

June 21

As a Moscow businessman in the world, he was miraculously saved from the abyss of sin and insanity when Sts. Sergius and Herman of Valaam appeared to him in his room in an insane asylum, giving him Holy Communion, whereby he was healed. Upon his release, he sought everywhere to learn who his healers were, until he recognized them on the icon of their reliquary in Valaam. In gratitude he became a monk and then took upon himself a great exploit—to take up collections to help pay for the large amount of construction that was needed in Valaam. He traveled extensively collecting alms with great fervor, and God blessed his work with numerous miraculous incidents. For his collecting of alms in Moscow he was called John “the Muscovite.” Fr. John belonged to the category of hesychasts whose prayer did not cease in their hearts, in spite of the constantly busy atmosphere wherever he traveled. Soon after his tonsure into the schema he reposed with the prayer on his lips. The portrait on the left was miraculously saved by an unknown visitor to the monastic cell on Spruce Island, Alaska, where the Elder’s former disciple-novice lived as a hermit.
