I knew his face, but forgot his name. Thanks for reminding me, Paul. I know Mr.
Lormer showed up on quite a few shows, but his work on TAGS and Trek were the
ones I remember the most. He was outstanding in both.

I'm not surprised it is that many. I figure since most of the performers worked
through Desilu, the world of Mayberry and the Federation were as close as just
across the studio lot! I was thinking about this just to day and it dawned on
me that Keye Luke was in both Trek ("Whom Gods Destroy") and TAGS (the episode
where Aunt Bee buys into the Chinese restaurant).

I still remember the first time I revealed this to a buddy of mine. I had to
pull out "City on the Edge of Forever" and a copy of TAGS to show him before he
would believe me, and when it finally sank in, it really flipped his lid!

Now that was a new one on me! Just goes to show you even an old Trekker like me
can learn something new everyday!
Best,
