So sad.sigpic
Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

Potter.
Sometimes Henry Blake was a bit too easy going, and let Hawkeye get away with just about anything.
But Sherman Potter was a calming influence, and knew when to reign Hawkeye in.sigpic

It's one of those weird/spooky coincidences, McLean Stevenson and Roger Bowen both played Lt. Col. Henry Blake in "M*A*S*H" - the former in the TV series, the latter in the original movie.
They both died of a heart attack exactly one day apart.sigpic

Just as general FYI for those of us in the UK, the True Entertainment channel has the show on a more or less constant loop, and have just gone round the horn to the start of season 1.sigpic
