Off-Topic Gone too soon.

I recall in a TV interview that Walter Koenig's father, Isidore, was an outspoken Communist who was investigated by the FBI during the McCarthy era.

Walter always mentioned his status as a "red diaper baby" in the 1930s when being a Communist or Communist sympathizer was not uncommon or necessarily seen as a bad thing.

Made the distinction that his dad wasn't a "Rosenberg"-type Communist spy; was more of a big pro-labor union man.

RIP.
