The stories behind the boots and dog tags have stuck with Alda for 40 years.
DALLAS — The combat boots and dog tags that Alan Alda wore to portray the wisecracking surgeon Hawkeye on the beloved television series"M-A-S-H" meant so much to him that when the show ended 40 years ago, he kept them.
People are also reading… The boots and dog tags, given to him by the costume department,"made an impression on me every day that we shot the show," said Alda, who won five Emmys for his work on the sitcom. After receiving the dog tags, Alda realized that they didn't carry his character's name but the names of two men he thought had likely been real soldiers.
Joshua Benesh, Heritage's chief strategy officer, said the boots and dog tags have an"incredible" provenance since they have been with Alda ever since the series ended. The money raised from the auction will go to the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University in New York, a center he helped start to help scientists and doctors communicate better by applying improvisational exercises and communication strategies.
