You’re kind of a neighbor, then. I’m from South Pasadena.

BTW, Ivan Dixon isn’t just famous for his work on Hogan’s Heroes or his work in directing a good many episodes of our fave TV shows. He also has the distinction of having had one of his feature films selected by the Library of Congress to be preserved in the National Film Registry.

And we can thank Tim Reid (of WKRP in Cincinnati fame) for tracking down a negative of that film and getting it put on DVD.

I put Tim Reid’s subsequent TV series “Frank’s Place” (well written by Hugh Wilson) in the same pantheon as WKRP.
