Some New News About Old Stuff.
1. HOGAN'S HEROES-- Question in July 26th Parade Magazine about whether any members of the cast of this show are still alive. Most are not. Star Bob Crane's 1978 murder remains unsolved, and his widow, Sigrid Valdis (who played Hilda), died in 2007. Werner Klemperer (Klink), Ivan Dixon (Kinchloe), Larry Hovis (Carter), and John Banner (Schultz) are dead. Richard Dawson (Newkirk) hosts Family Feud. Crane's bomber jacket recently went for $40,000 in auction.
I always wondered what was so funny about a German POW camp. Plus, Klemperer was Jewish and playing the role of a German officer. Who would have figured?
2. OBERWEIS DAIRY-- Well-known in the Chicagoland area, founder Peter Oberweis started selling milk to neighbors in 1915 and bought a partnership in a dairy in 1927 and it became Oberweis Dairy a few years later.
At one time, there were many dairies in the Chicagoland area, but very few remain today. Oberweis has a limited home delivery system still and sells their products in Oberweis stores. The company is located in North Aurora.
