Featured Character - Ledara Potter

By Lady Isabella

Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself...

A: I was a member of the old History Vine and related sites a while back, then was told about PH a few months ago. I help one of my sisters out with Family Genealogy online, and I have been working on web pages for such.

I live in Oklahoma, right in the middle of Tornado Alley. And, I love Egyptology, history in general, reading, painting (I do my own artwork and will post some here soon or on my web page!), and I also do some gardening and embroidery.

Q: Why did you join PH?

A: I had been contacted by one of its members while at another site. I thought it would be great to get back into RP again, and hear from friends again.

Q: What is your favorite part about being a member here at Pan Historia?

A: Being able to do RP as well as help others with working on HTMLs, which I have had many help me with, and being able to create a new look at History, Sci Fi, etc. It help get rid of the boredom as well when stuck at home because of bad weather. Also getting to meet new people with the same interests.

Q: What are your greatest accomplishments, either in RL or here at Pan?

A: Learning newer HTML skills. When I first joined HV and other related sites, I knew nothing about HTMLs, URLs, etc. Since then, I have become good at building web pages, and helping others as well. I have even made quite a few avatars and have them on one of my web pages.

Q: I noticed you are a member of the novel MASH: Chaos in Korea. Who is your favorite character in the series? Do you have a favorite episode?

A: I grew up on MASH. From it's beginnings to its end. For Officers, I'd have to say Hawkeye. He's the type of Doctor who is compassionate and caring enough to do his job, but, on the side, have some fun when the day, or surgery, is over. I enjoy most of the episodes. There are some I don't like. But, favorite episode, "A War For All Seasons", where they go through the year. Even with its errors on dates, it still is a great episode.

Q: Tell us more about MASH: Chaos in Korea and your story in the novel?

A: Ok. Lt. Ledara Potter, Regular Army, is from Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. She comes from a long military line of family. She began Army Nursing about 1948 right after High School.

She was stationed at the Ft. Sill Army Hospital for 3 years, then was called up for duty in Korea. She was assigned to the MASH 4077, Lt. Col. Henry Blake, Commanding Officer. And had helped Col. Sherman T. Potter along with a Sgt. Annie Paul to help set up a new Aid Station near the front lines.

MASH: Chaos in Korea is about the TV Series M*A*S*H. Many of the series characters are involved there. From Lt. Col. Henry Blake, Col. Potter, Hawkeye, Trapper, Maj. Frank Burns, Maj. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, etc.

Currently, we are approaching the end of what would be Season 3, which was just recently released on Video & DVD. As we go along, it is about late 1951. In the Fall.

We have had many posts on time in surgery, Meg Craddy and the orphans coming through, Dr. Sydney Freedman, everyone's favorite Psychiatrist, but, I think we will be having the annoying CIA/ camp self abusement director, Col. Flag soon. You can never tell who will pop up next.

In season 4, Col. Potter makes his appearance, after the loss of Henry Blake at the end of Season 3, and Trapper goes home as well. He is replaced by Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt.

Keep reading, you'll probably get a surprise or two!
