In the very early episodes, Hawkeye was not from Maine. What state?
IIRC that was in the first "Dear Dad" episode.

(8,498 posts)If I remember correctly Hawkeye also had a sister and perhaps a living mother, in others episodes he said he was an only child and his father was a widower.
I saw Alan Alda at a talk and book signing. I saw Jamie Farr and shook his hand in Toledo.

They got the addresses & the direction the streets ran wrong in The Sting, too.
That bugged me, too.
