link Larry Storch, who played Cpl Agarn in F Troop, has passed away at 99 years old. When I think of the rules, Pony Wars, which I have, I think of F Troop… RIP, sir. And I hope you tell Forest Tucker and Ken Berry how much we loved them. Eric |

Sorry to hear he passed, but it sounds like he had a full life. I loved that show when I was a kid. |

"How do you get to Fort Courage?" Mr. Storch's character asked in one episode. "That's easy. You take a right at the rock that looks like a bear, then a left at the bear that looks like a rock." TMP link Bio: link |

When I painted my 10th Cav troopers I made them F Troop in honor of that show. Liked him in his roles. |

Really wish someone had made 28mm figures for the men of Fort Courage. Would buy them in a flash. |

I will always remember him in a "Columbo" episode where he is the frustrated driving instructor being driven back to the driving center by Columbo. He stops half way and intends to walk the rest of the distance because of Columbo's driving habits. Just great to see the two of them together. Bob |

I saw that episode! Check your local library. Mine has a lot of old and new TV series on DVD. |
