Re: Ivan Dixon died
Funny, I just received my season 6 DVD's yesterday, the only season Dixon was not in Hogan's Heroes (he was replaced by Sgt. Baker played by Kenneth Washington). I never knew why he departed the show, but his character was missed. His was a very positive role for an African-American in the 60's; playing the intelligent, calm voice of reason to Dawson's huckster Newkirk, Clary's emotional LeBeau, and Hovis's bumbling Carter.
RIP "Kinch"
