He really was a collector. He was also a supporter of the Duck Stamp program in the US, and a duck stamp contest judge.
Watched it last night with Janet. It was an excellent overview and would be a great introduction to philately and stamp collecting for people who are curious about the hobby or senior returning to the hobby of their youth. Production values are a bit dated (think 1980's) but it actually kinda neat to see Gary Burghoff outside of M.A.S.H. He mentions in the video that he is also specialized Aerophilately collector.
Get some nachos or popcorn ... watch it with a new collector.
