LeBeau and Newkirk were my favorites. I think Robert Clary (LeBeau) is the only surviving member of the main cast - he's now 91. I remember him talking about his arm tatoo from being in a concentration camp during the war. His wikipedia entry is an interesting read.

I like your cross-over very much. Thank you.

They were my favorites too. Yes Clary is the only cast member left. I watched a very moving you tube video of him lecturing about his concentration camp experiences as a boy. There were a few people I knew who were in the camps but they were so traumatized by it that they didn't want to talk about it. I'm glad Clary did, people need to hear it first hand. There's so many deniers of what happened that it's frightening.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the story. Thank you for taking the time to comment! It's very much appreciated.
