Larry Hovis Remembered, by Tom Davis.
Larry Hovis, who passed away a few years ago, was my brother. He will always be remembered by most people for his TV role as Sgt. Carter on Hogans Heroes. I remember him as an older brother who never finished college, but ended up teaching at one. These pages are mine and others memories of him. Larry spent his last ten years teaching at Texas State University in San Marcos. He often told me it was the best job he ever had. As time passes I will add stories about his time in hollywood and my visits with him. An example of his character was when the movie "Auto Focus" came out about Bob Crane. Larry King and all of the gossip shows were calling him to talk about his friend, Bob Crane. Larry called all of the old Hogan's Heroes actors and as as a group they all refused to talk about Bob except if the gossip shows wanted to have a letter read on their programs that said "Bob was our friend, and since he is gone we will only talk about our good memories of him." There were no takers.
