CHAPTER 7 The Pilot Episode NOVEL
Ho-Jon, the Korean houseboy working in the Swamp, is drafted into the South Korean army. He is subsequently wounded and sent back to the 4077th for treatment. After rehabilitation, he resumes his position as Swampboy. The Swampmen, who are very fond of Ho-Jon, arrange to have him sent to Hawkeye's old college. To raise funds, Trapper grows a beard, dresses up like Jesus Christ, and autographs thousands of photos which the Swampmen sell for a buck apiece. |

Hawkeye sat up, lit a butt, and said, “Hey, Trapper, how fast can you grow that beard back?” “Couple weeks. What do you have in mind?” “Money for Ho-Jon.” “How’s that Yankee growin’ a beard gonna get money for Ho-Jon?” asked Duke. “Easy. We’ll get a good picture of him, have copies made, and sell actual photographs of Jesus Christ at a buck a throw. If we make out with that, he can make a few personal appearances.” Trapper looked interested. “Always knew I’d make good,” he said, “but I never thought I’d get to the top so fast.” | |

Dear Hawkeye:
I deposited five thousand dollars in the Port Waldo Trust Company for Ho-Jon. How come you can send some foreigner to college and leave me to bail your brothers out of jail? I always encouraged you to go to school, and now look what happens. Your brother Joe got took up for drunken driving. Mother is well. Your father, Benjy Pierce |
