Another aspect of interest is how “normal” Colin Douglas’ voice is—not the booming cavernous sound he uses for TV work. I remember being shocked when I heard the actor who played Major Winchester on MASH; his real voice was totally different. Then I truly understood: “acting”! Colin Campbell comes over as quite well thought, if a tad bit of a “movie star”; and Leslie’s son was delightful, all wriggling bored-stiff 6 years of him! What a wonderful bit grown out of a wonderful series! And John Finch got his proper due! <br><br><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Friday, June 1, 2018, 9:42 AM, Christine Kendell via Afamilyatwar-list <afamilyatwar-list@baylor.edu> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv3889562244"><style>#yiv3889562244 #yiv3889562244 --
