Biography

Received a partial scholarship to prep school, graduating from the prestigious Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey (class of 1941).

Was not all that interested in selling the M*A*S*H rights to make the movie or the TV series, but a fellow Peddie School alumnus (movie producer Howard W. Koch, class of 1933, and Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award winner at the 1990 Oscars), gave him some encouragement to do so.
