Who could forget him? There was a classic episode where Bilko heard this
rich tenor voice singing in the showers and it turned out to be poor Duane
Doberman. He almost hit the big time, but not quite. LOL!
And the rest of 'em: Paparelli, what a motor mouth that guy had. And the
Sarge from the Catering Corps: Rupert Ritzik! He was the classic "one born
every minute" who Bilko was forever trying to fleece. Did you ever see
Ritzik's wife? It's a wonder that guy never turned gay! LOL! Happy
memories.
