> [@riker1384](#): > > Pvt. Gary Sturgis (Patrick Swayze). What did this character do? I don’t remember. He wanted to give his blood to save his buddy’s life, and Hawkeye told him he had leukemia, and I think he insisted on giving it anyway even though it would hasten his own death. I can just barely remember that one. ---

Digger Detweiler (Richard Masur) – the guy who comes to pick up Hawkeye’s corpse. Lil Rayburn (Carmen Matthews) – the nurse that Col. Potter gets too cozy with for Radar’s liking. Capt. Steven Newsome (Edward Herrmann) – the replacement doctor who has a nervous breakdown. Martine LeClerc (Melinda Mullins) – Zee Franche nurse that Charles falls in love with, and then dumps because she lived with a guy in Paree during ze Var. The helicopter pilot with diabetes was Smilin’ Jack Mitchell (Robert Hogan) I can’t believe no one mentioned Carlye Walton (Blythe Danner), Hawkeye’s old love. ---
