Guest actor Hal Lynch (ST:TOS) killed himself

The Air Police sergeant who was beamed aboard Enterprise in the episode Tomorrow Is Yesterday killed himself last month. He was 78.

Ah, so many fond memories I have. Hal was a brilliant actor whose moving portrayal touched many, many lives, including my own. He will be deeply missed, and I will weep bitter tears.

He is truly worthy of his own thread.

Yeah, yeah. Nobody knew him. But I remembered the face.

A random question, did they really call them Air Police back then? I remember when they were Security Police, and recently they became Security Forces (randomly almost banged the door of a Security Forces truck when I was at the PX. It was random because how often do you see Security Forces (Air Force) hanging out on an Army base?)

From wiki: ‘Air Force Security Forces… formerly named Air Police, then Security Police…’
