The first horse he had was a male, and later replaced by a mare he named Sophie.

7. Has he ever turned in a friend?

Answer: Yes, twice

He turned in one of them for getting some soldiers hurt. The friend didn't know what he was doing and he was doing it just to get some stupid promotion and retire a full colonel! This was in the episode, "Ping Pong".
In the episode "Friends and Enemies", he turned in another old army chum whose actions were also getting young men hurt or worse.

8. What did he say when he slipped in some of Sophie's manure in his office?

Answer: "Son, to me, that's a tiptoe thru the tulips!"

I guess someone who is a horse lover wouldn't mind! This occurred when Radar gave Sophie to Colonel Potter as an anniversary gift.

9. Who played Potter?

Answer: Harry Morgan

He was in a lot of old westerns where he went by the name "Henry".

10. Was Harry Morgan ever on "M*A*S*H" before he became a regular cast member?

Yes, once before in an episode called "The General Flipped At Dawn". I think he won an Emmy for this guest role.

Answer: Yes

Yes he did. When his son-in-law came to visit and Potter discovered that he had an affair in Japan, Potter revealed to him that he too was guilty of cheating on his wife a long time ago.

12. Does he have pictures of his wife?

Answer: Yes

Yes he does. He has one in his office and one in his tent.

13. What is Potter's favorite movie?

Answer: "My Darling Clementine"

I guess if a guy is such a horse lover his favorite movie would be a western. This bit of information was revealed in the episode "Movie Tonight."

14. Who is Potter's favorite writer?

Answer: Zane Grey

If you recall, he gave Margaret one of Grey's books for her time capsule!

15. And finally, how did Potter leave the camp on the last episode?

Answer: On Sophie

He said that he was going to take one more ride on Sophie and then give her to the orphanage. Hawkeye left by chopper, Margaret by jeep and Charles by garbage truck. Well, that's it. Hope you enjoyed it! I hope to create some more quizzes in the near future.
