Mar 10, 1932 – Jan 23, 2018 (Age 85)

My only familiarity with the late Mr. Dowdell was from his terrific work as "Chip" Morton, on the awesome "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", but I really enjoyed seeing him on it. The camaraderie between "Chip", and the "Skipper", and Admiral Nelson, was very heartwarming- who knew that there was so much paranormal, extranormal, and even supernatural threats at the bottom of the sea-??
