RIP - Colonel Sherman T. Potter

[Russ35]

Just noticed that Harry Morgan died yesterday at the age of 96.

Known mainly for his performance as Colonel Potter in M*A*S*H from Season 4 till the final episode. He did actually appear in an earlier episode playing Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele. He made such a good impression with the producers that they cast him as Colonel Potter when McLean Stevenson left the show at the end of season 3.

He was also in the late 60's remake of Dragnet and had a long film career.

RIP Harry. Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.

Amazed he was still around. He also cropped up in the Jimmy Stewart film "Strategic Air Command".

[Laurel Green]

A goodly innings. RIP Harry.

And The Glenn Miller Story.

As a MASH fan he'll always be Col Potter to me, RIP

[Eric Mc]

I wonder was he a friend of Jimmy Stewart?

[El Guapo]

Yes, 96 is a good age to live to.
