THE 2010 HAT SQUAD ADDENDUM

If you read Inner Toob on a regular basis, you know I go off on those end of the year/award show memorial tributes to those who died during the previous year. No matter what the category - movies, TV, theatre - they always seem to omit somebody who made an important contribution. And I always vow to do a better job of it with my Hat Squad tribute at the beginning of each year for those who made contributions to the TV Universe.

Apparently, I failed this year.

The other day, Ivan G. Shreve, Jr. had a list of names he omitted over the year at his "Thrilling Day Of Yesteryear" blog. (Link to the left, grim reapers!) And there were so many that I missed; especially a few who were big shocks that I never noticed their passings - Ann Prentiss, Sandy Kenyon, and David Froman.

So I'm going to add those missing names to the official list. But since most of my regular readers have already looked through it and moved on, I felt these people deserved the chance to be recognized.....
