R.I.P. Col Potter.
Quote:
Yeah, Potter even kept Hawkeye in line a few times, especially the time when RADAR was wounded and Hawkeye blamed himself. Hawkeye ends up yelling at RADAR in postop then back in the swamp Potter enters and just lets Hawkeye have it.
Blake had some good moments, funny (Boom!) and serious (the arthritis thing), and he was part of the funniest seasons of MASH, but I've got to go with Potter as my favorite CO of the 4077th. Potter was comfortable with his authority and he'd been around the block a few times. He knew when to give his people free reign and when to crack the whip. And I love the fact that he didn't take crap from anybody, be they superior officers, ferret-faced subordinates, or deranged CIA operatives.

I don`t understand why people should be sad when someone that age dies. Anyone that lives that long deserves a standing ovation for when they pass away. Especially if they have a positive attitude at the end.
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Goodbye, I guess.
