Sorry to hear that. She was excellent in The Trial Of Henry Blake.
I loved it when she called the officer's, who are trying to see if there's
enough to Court Martial (?) Henry, "High priced bellhops"

The late Ann Doran (July 28, 1911 - Sept. 19, 2000) appeared as "Meg
Craddy" in the episode of M*A*S*H where she runs an orphanage and has to
bring the children to the 4077th.

Now that I think about Ann Doran, wasn't there another actress who also played
Meg Craddy? I believe there is and her name is Hope Summers (Sommers)

Yes, The opening credits of "The Trail of Henry Blake" (K-408) show that
it was written by McLean Stevenson.

I believe he's credited as "Story by"? Or am I thinking of "The Army-Navy
Game"?

A pedant is someone who thinks you'll be favorably impressed to be caught

"The Trail of Henry Blake" (K-408) was "Written by McLean Stevenson".
"The Army Navy Game" (J-322) was "Teleplay by Sid Dorfman, Story by
McLean Stevenson"

The 'story' was for "Army-Navy", for 'Trial' he's got the sole "Written by"
credit.

Sorry to hear it.
I always loved her reaction at the end of her episode when she complments
hawkeye by saying "If I were twenty years younger..." and hawkeye
responds, "I thought you were!"
