The NPR segment on All Things Considered today was truly good.

The following really struck me:

In 1983, Morgan spoke at a press conference about ending a series so beloved that the last show drew a record 125 million viewers. He said someone had asked him if he thought M*A*S*H had made him a better actor.

"And I said I didn't know about that, but I know it's made me a better human being and there aren't many shows you can say that about," he said.

Like Linn, my first memories of him were as Bill Gannon in "Dragnet", a show my father never missed, and therefore, neither did the rest of the family.

Definitely one of the "greats" as an actor, and, it seems, a good man.
