Re: Good-bye, Col. Potter

Just read this myself. Truly sad news indeed. I am a huge fan of both M*A*S*H and the character of Colonel Sherman T Potter.

R.I.P Sherm!

The snippet that keeps running though my head was where his jeep got run over by a tank and he walks up to it sadly, and then, being former cavalry, shoots it!

RIP Col. Potter!

Weird, I feel like someone I knew from my childhood has died. What
a kindred personality he was.

Re: Good-bye, Col. Potter

RIP indeed. Great in Dragnet, and great in MASH (in both roles that he played - Col. Potter and General Steel.)

Goodbye, farewell, and amen.

Wow, Mr. Morgan certainly did live a full life to make it to 96. I hope I'm that lucky.
RIP, old boy.

Re: Good-bye, Col. Potter

I just watched the episode the other day where Col. Potter, Hawkeye, and BJ come back drunk in a Jeep. They are holding Col. Potter up between them when Col. Potter falls to the ground. They help him up and he says "Did I fall down?" They say "No." and he says "I didn't think so." That cracks me up just thinking about it.

Thanks for making us laugh.

Re: Good-bye, Col. Potter

M*A*S*H was definitively more than just a sitcom. It was a story about a family going through tough times, and Harry Morgan was the father of that family.

We will all miss you Mr. Morgan, and thank for the good times you gave us.
