He was very demanding, but he lived a wonderful life. I've loved him on Trapper John, M.D., but I didn't know he was a Cartwright. I'll surely miss his smile, his humor and his talent. His death brought us all the great shock in our lives!

Maybe a couple of inches or so at bes. Wayne Rogers and Mike Farrell both seem a little taller than Alan Alda, but not by much. Maybe a couple of inches or so at bes.

I don't think Wayne Rogers is notably taller than Alan Alda, is he? It must have been made for the television show - and not an actual shot. Check it out for yourself on you tube, search for "Trapper John MD first episode" and the picture comes up after the guy on the stretcher is loaded into a helicopter at the hospital.

On the note of the Trapper John spin-off, I remember seeing an opening montage of the pilot for the show, and I seem to recall clips from the series of <i>M*A*S*H</i> of the choppers and ambulances and whatnot infultrating his dreams as he napped in his office. There is also a photograph hanging in his office of him and Hawkeye standing outside the Swamp, but no one has been able to deduce whether its Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland, or indeed Wayne Rogers and Alan Alda.
