I so much have a question for You but alas You are gone ELSIG, You
will be missed,
ELSIG You did good.

[Stormin Mormon]

Didn't he leave his death benefits to Sister Theresa's
orphanage?

There's a little Elsig left in all of us. We miss you!

Larry Gelbart discusses M*A*S*H creator Richard Hornberger (Hooker):

The book is: They'll never put that on the air: an oral history of
taboo-breaking TV comedy By Allan Neuwirth

http://books.google.com/books?id=Q47DAe8GN-AC&lpg=PA183&dq=%22m*a*s*h%20goes%20to%22&pg=PA182#v=onepage&q=%22m*a*s*h%20goes%20to%22&f=false

Included in the book is a chapter on M*A*S*H and in it, Elsig
discusses various bits of M*A*S*H history with Burt Metcalfe,
including Hornberger's unhappiness with their development of M*A*S*H
for television:

BM: "Richard Hornberger, who wrote the original novel, was a violent
foe of the show! We didn't get that many letters from him, but we got
a few early on... and he'd write to the networks. We were made aware
of his views. Or he'd be quoted in interviews. He was very much
against us because we were so totally left wing, and we were so
totally anti-government, anti-military, and he was just not that left
wing at all."

LG: "But he clearly thought that we were far more liberal than he was.
And we were. his book was completely devoid of any influence or
comparison to the Vietnam experience that was going on, and our series
very much included feelings that spilled over, or spilled over
backwards into the 1950s... and I think he resented it. He just felt
these were not his doctors. He was also mad as Hell that we had killed
Henry Blake. He had a M*A*S*H book industry going... with a
collaborator, he was doing M*A*S*H Goes to Paris, M*A*S*H Goes to Las
Vegas. He was doing M*A*S*H Goes here, M*A*S*H Goes there. So, he was
making a tidy living with Henry Blake very much alive and kicking ---
and we had him very much dead and buried! Or drowned. So, I think he
was a little pissed off about that."
