In the movie M*A*S*H, Hawkeye, when driving through Soule, is flagged by a reporter who says, ''Anyone you want to say hello to back home? Mother maybe'' (or something like that) and he says, ''My mother is dead.'' However, I just saw an episode on TV in which he is writing a letter home to his dad in which he says, ''Kiss mom and sis''

The show is just a pale imitation of the real thing. I advise anyone who thinks the show is great to read the books. Keeping in mind what newsgroup this is, here are some trivia questions about the M*A*S*H books: How many kids did Hawkeye have (he was married in the books)? What was Spearchucker's real name? What was Duke's real name? What was the name of the medical facility that the M*A*S*H gang opened in Maine after they left the army.
