RIP Commodore Decker. He was a good actor . He even had his own TV show for a time. In case anyone ask The Commodor Decker Charater was the only survivor of the Attack on the USS Constelleation in the Star Trek Episode "The Doomsday Machine" . He went insane after his crew beamed down to the third planet just before it was destroyed by the Doomsday MAchine.

Ah yes, The Doomsday Machine. The only power in the universe capable of gobbling up whole planets faster than liberalism.

Windom was a great character actor.

RIP, Mr. Windom.


BTW-

I just learned singer-songwriter Scott McKenzie died Saturday morning.  He was a great guy.  His biggest hit was "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In your Hair)".
