RIP Officer Gammon.

He was good in that role, but I thing Col. Potter was his defining role. I will always remeber him as the cranky, but lovable commander of the 4077th.  :viking:

I've seen the reruns and I like him better then the first commander of the MASH unit.   Though I liked them both.   8)

I remember him from December Bride in the 1950's.

He was 96 and evidently passed from complications from pneumonia.

Lt.Col. Henry Blake was based on the C.O. from the movie M*A*S*H* AFAIK.

I thought that he died years ago. A shame, in any case. I liked him.

96 is a good innings. RIP Harry.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
