    Wayne Rogers, Trapper John on 'M.A.S.H.,' dies at 82.....

    [​IMG]

    Wayne Rogers, whose Trapper John McIntyre on "M.A.S.H." was among the most beloved characters on one of the most popular shows of all time, died Thursday.

    The actor was surrounded by family when he died in Los Angeles of complications from pneumonia at age 82, his publicist and longtime friend Rona Menashe told The Associated Press.

    An Alabama native and Princeton graduate, Rogers had parts on many short-lived shows before "M.A.S.H.," specializing in westerns like "Law of the Plainsman" and "Stagecoach West."

    He moved beyond acting to see serious success later in life as a money manager and investor. In 1988 and 1990 he appeared as an expert witness before the House Judiciary Committee to speak in favor of maintaining the Glass-Steagall banking laws of the 1930s.

    In recent years he was a regular panelist on the Fox News stock investment show "Cashin' In.".....snip~

    Yeah I would think so. Lose her husband and brother in 2-3 days. At least she has a big family and doesn't have to go it alone.
