Assuming that my Chicago edition is accurate, the Admiral on Broadside was Willis Bouchey, taking time off from the judge rotation on Perry Mason.
You may recall that Berkeley Harris was in the previous week’s Broadside, playing what was clearly a younger character (as he was).
Thanks for the catch. Blame copying and pasting.
