I have had the good fortune of getting to know Pierre Jalbert (Caje) fairly well and Jack Hogan (Kirby) a little bit over the past decade. Pierre is in Bevely Hills and Jack is in NC.
Larry Storch (Cpl Agarn) had an interesting family. His wife had a daughter with a Black musician around 1952 or so (couple of years before Storch married her). They gave the daughter to a middle class Black family in Jersey to raise but the girl spent the summers with them as a kid of “fresh air fund” kid. She grew up and made a career out of her childhood as being symbolic of race in America in the fifties and sixties.
Number 6.
Commander Ed Straker.
Commander John Koenig.
