I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale.

Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Thanks @sacpressclub.bsky.social for this honor and for recognizing my 2024 column on the very different high-speed rail conversation happening in the Central Valley (calmatters.org/commentary/2...). The simplest & most important journalistic technique we have is to talk to folks directly affected.

A Sacramento Press Club Golden State Journalism award for best opinion/commentary.
