About Patty[]
In the first part of the two part "Good-Bye, Radar" episode, Radar is angry at being stuck between flights on his way back to the 4077th from a week of R&R, but things start to look up when he meets a young, pretty Army nurse named Patty, who is also waiting for a flight, except hers is bound for home. Turns out she's from Lancaster, Missouri, which is just a short drive away from Radar's beloved Ottumwa. They start to talk.
Eventually, Radar gets a flight back to the 4077th, although now he doesn't want one - he spent all night talking to Patty, and they've hit it off. She even likes Grape Nehi!
He tries to get out of the flight, but the airport clerk is having none of it. He orders Radar aboard, and, grumbling, he goes. But not before promising to see Patty when he gets home. He even gently kisses her goodbye.
Research notes[]
- Unfortunately, the projected romance between Radar and Patty was never pursed ..not even in AfterMASH or W*A*L*T*E*R.
