Character background
The novel established that Radar was from the Ottumwa, Iowa area in south-central part of the state. He was from a farm family and his father was deceased. Radar's mother lived on the family farm and his Uncle Ed helped out on the farm and served as his father figure. Radar was often portrayed as a friendly young man from the midwest. As a symbol of how young this man was when he got to Korea, he slept with a teddy bear. Ottumwa (pronounced Uh-tuhm-wa) is a city located in Wapello County, Iowa. ...

Cpl. O'Reilly had a rough start as clerk at the 4077th, where it seemed he couldn't do anything right. The unit's commander, Lt.Col. Henry Blake, took him under his wing. Eventually, the young man became an excellent clerk with the near-magical abilities to get whatever the unit needed, to anticipate the demands and even the words of his bosses, and to hear incoming helicopters before anyone else. These latter two earned him the nickname "Radar." A helicopter is an aircraft which is lifted and propelled by one or more large horizontal rotors (propellers). ...
Blake and Radar grew very close, and it was Radar who tearfully announced Blake's death over the Sea of Japan. While Radar needed some time to adjust to the new Col. Potter, he eventually became very close to Potter as well. Radar was very fond of animals and raised several during his duty at M*A*S*H. For Col. Potter's anniversary, Radar gave him Sophie, a mare that he, Pierce and B.J. Hunnicutt rescued. The Sea of Japan (In South Korea, it is known as East Sea and in North Korea as East Sea of Korea) is a marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean, bound by the Japanese islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, and Kyushu and the Russian island of Sakhalin to the east...

Leaving M*A*S*H Because Burghoff felt a need to move on, the Radar character was written out of the series at the beginning of the eighth season. Radar was discharged after his Uncle Ed passed away so that he could go home and help out on the farm. When the unit is in dire straights because they have no working generators, Radar decides that the 4077th needs him more than his mother does. Pierce and Potter try to convince Radar that he is making a mistake, but it takes Klinger's swindling a generator from supply to convince him that the 4077th will survive without him. As a way of saying that Radar came to Korea as a boy and went home a man, he left his teddy bear with Pierce. Maxwell Q. Klinger is a fictional character from the M*A*S*H television series played by American actor Jamie Farr. ...
In the short television movie W*A*L*T*E*R, Radar joins the police force after he returns from Korea.
Teddy Bear Throughout the series, Radar was known for sleeping with a teddy bear. This was added by the creators to symbolize Radar's youth and naivete; it was also the source of several jokes throughout the series--which collectively formed a recurring joke in itself. In the second to last episode (actually the last episode taped), "As Time Goes By", Pierce added the teddy bear to a time capsule with several other items from the camp including Klinger's "Gone With the Wind" dress and a broken fan belt from a helicopter. On July 29, 2005, the teddy bear used in the series was sold at auction for $11,800. Gone With the Wind was an instant success. ...
