96 years old...wow.
M*A*S*H was one of my favorite shows ever. Loved Harry Morgan.

That sucks, but I assumed he died years ago.

I loved him as Col. Potter. Like some of you, I had assumed that he had already died.

I met his co-star, Mike Farrell, when I lived in California. We worked on some social justice issues together. I don't want to go too PPB here, but if you know much about Mike Farrell, then you'll know what it was that we were doing.

Harry Morgan was also a great radio actor.

As one of my friends wrote on FB, "RIP, Col. Potter. When you see Henry Blake in the eternal Officer's Club, please tell him hello."

Don't forget, Harry Morgan was Bill Gannon on Dragnet long before he was Col. Potter. Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts!

BTW, my dad is 97. I spoke with him on Tuesday morning. B-)
