THE HAT SQUAD: THE MANY FACES OF WILLIAM WINDOM

When I heard that William Windom had passed away at the age of 88, and I began thinking of all the many roles he played in Toobworld, I didn't even remember his 'Star Trek' appearance until I saw it listed in the obituary. There were that many memorable characters that I would forget one of the most powerful, despite being such a "Trekker".

The following registry of Toobworld citizens is only a small portion of those he contributed, not only to Earth Prime-Time, but also to Skitlandia and the Tooniverse.

Unless otherwise stated in the storylines, I believe most of these characters passed away around the same time as Mr. Windom. Of course, the characters from the TV Westerns passed away at least a century ago, while Commander Matt Dekker isn't even born yet. (Although I don't have a picture for him, the role of Lew Brooney didn't even exist, as he was a a figment of Dr. Bob Hartley's dream which we know as the entire series of 'Newhart'.) 

The only characters who probably had true immortality might be Uncle Chuck from 'Sonic the Hedgehog' and the toy soldier from 'The Twilight Zone' - if it was kept in good condition after all these years.....
