It was just yesterday that I learned Josh Ledet would be appearing, in Heritage Square in Sulphur, Louisiana. We got there early about 1:20 PM, before the 2PM concert. We live only about a mile-and-a-half from Heritage Square, so it took about three minutes to arrive at the venue.

Jason Ledet, the brother of Josh was the host of the show and introduced all the acts and thanked the sponsors and workers, who did an amazing job, considering they only had two days to set up for the concert.

                             1932 -2012

 

Dawson was born Colin Lionel Emm in Gosport, Hampshire, England on November 20, 1932. He died on Saturday in Los Angeles, California. 

He portrayed Corporal Peter Newkirk on Hogan’s Heroes from 1965-1971 in 166 episodes. 

Dawson also appeared in 73 episodes of Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in.

He did very little acting after leaving Laugh-in and was host of Family Feud from 1976-1985 and 1994-1995.

It is ironic that his death was exactly 16 years after his successor Ray Combs died. Combs had committed suicide.

He was married to Diana Dors, who was the British version of Marilyn Monroe from 1959-1966. He married Gretchen Johnson, a contestant on Family Feud and they were married from 1991 till his death.
