For a second, I thought this thread was referring to actress Jud Tylor.

RIP, Jud Taylor.

I remember seeing him in an interview. Nice guy. By the way, he was 76.

@T'Bonz: When writing an obit, ALWAYS give the person's age. You'll learn this in journalism class. For example:

"TV director Jud Taylor, who worked on Star Trek as well as other television shows and movies, passed away August 6th in New York City. He was 76."

I did. It's in the part that is on Trektoday, not TrekBBS. I have a "short description" field and it's in that part.

The submission never made it to me.

And evidently, there have been issues with my own email which is why it never made it from C to me either.

I debated not posting it due to the time lag when I finally DID get it. But I felt it was still newsworthy.

The email issue has been sorted. Stupid Bellsouth!
