Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Let's begin with Hawkeye. We know that Hawkeye's mother has passed away and that he has no siblings. In fact, the only close relative that Hawkeye seems to ever mention is his father. What is Hawkeye's father's name?

Answer: Daniel

Hawkeye's father Daniel is also a doctor in Crabapple Cove, Maine. 'Hawkeye' received his nickname from his father's favorite character in James Fenimore Cooper book 'Last of the Mohicans'. His given name is a combination of an American founding father (Benjamin Franklin) and a U.S. President (Franklin Pierce).
2. Trapper is married (though sometimes it doesn't seem like it!) with two daughters. What are his two daughters' names?

Answer: Becky and Kathy

Trapper's full name is John Francis Xavier McIntyre (Captain), and he is married to Louise. In the first three seasons, he mentions his daughters several times but didn't seem to be so fond of his wife. In fact, in one episode he is quoted as saying, "Bad news from my wife. She still loves me."
3. We know that there's a 'Hot Lips' in the camp and her real name is Margaret Houlihan. But which of the 'M*A*S*H' characters has a mother named Margaret?

Answer: Henry Blake

Indeed, Henry's mother is named Margaret. Aside from his mother, we also know that his wife is named Lorraine and that he has three children, Molly, Janie and Andrew (who is born during a 'M*A*S*H' episode called 'Showtime'.) We don't know what Henry's father's name is, however...
4. The name of one of Father Mulcahy's relatives is revealed to us during the run of the show.

Answer: True

But of course! His beloved sister, a great basketball player among other talents, is named Katherine. The name she is given by the Catholic church is Maria Angelica, when she becomes a nun. Quite a holy family, those Mulcahys!
5. We know that Radar's mother is named Edna. We also know that a number of Radar's uncles, aunts and cousins are mentioned during the run of the show. One uncle in particular is most important to Radar, his death triggering Radar's need to go home after the eight season of the show. What was this uncle's name?

Answer: Ed

When Radar's Uncle Ed dies, there's no one to help his mother tend the farm, so he is relunctantly forced to return home. Along with his Uncle Ed, Radar mentions about a half dozen other uncles' names during the run of the show, along with several aunts and cousins...but no siblings and no dad!
6. Two 'M*A*S*H' characters have wives with the same first name.

Answer: True

Strangely enough, this is true! Both Frank and Trapper have wives named Louise, guess the screenwriters were fond of that name? They also seemed to be very fond of the name Mildred. This is the name of Potter's wife, the original name of Henry's wife (before it became Lorraine) and the name of a woman with whom Trapper had a fling.
7. In one episode, Margaret's father comes to pay a visit, the only example of a close blood relative coming to visit any of the characters during the run of the show. His nickname is 'Howitzer', but what is his given name?

Answer: Alvin

'Howitzer' Alvin F. Houlihan is the full name of Margaret's father. So far as we know, Margaret also has a mother, though her name is never mentioned. Apparently, Margaret has a sister as well. It was for her wedding present that she once asked Frank if she could borrow 240 dollars.
8. Klinger has about a dozen uncles according to his many stories and anecdotes on the show. However, Klinger has been known to lie from time to time. For example, in one episode he claims to have two brothers who are killed in an accident at the Toledo Harmonica Factory. What were these two brothers' names?

Answer: Maurice and Hakim

According to Klinger, his brothers Maurice and Hakim are killed in a nasty accident, forcing him to take a hardship Section 8. Potter doesn't buy the ruse though, sending Klinger back out the way he came! We do know that Klinger has one sister named Yvonne, though the reality of her existence can always be questioned! Klinger also has two wives during the show, Laverne and Soon-Lee.
9. The doctor with the enigmatic name, BJ Hunnicutt, has a lovely wife named Peg and daughter, Erin, that we hear about often. In one episode, we also hear the secret behind BJ's name. He is, in fact, named for his two grandfathers, or is he?

Answer: No

Nope, actually he is named for his parents, Bea and Jay Hunnicutt...at least his initials are shared by them. We never know for certain what the B and J particularly stand for in *his* given name, though we can assume that his full name might actually be Bea Jay Hunnicutt...but it seems unlikely doesn't it?
10. Charles Emerson Winchester III, the name brings a sense of pomp and snootiness, doesn't it? Though we never are given an opportunity to find out his parents' names, we do hear of his sister from time to time. What is her given name?

Answer: Honoria

Honoria Winchester, we later find out, has a problem with stuttering, but she has been able to deal with it nicely. We also discover in another episode that Charles had a brother named Timmy (who died young). Thanks for having a go at this quiz...I hope you enjoyed it.
