RIP Ken Berry

There was a movie made a year before that may have influenced the idea of F Troop being made. It was called Advance to the Rear. Starring Glenn Ford and Melvyn Douglas. Don’t believe it was a big hit.
It was about a troop of misfits sent out West. A good watch when nothing else to do. Besides Ford and Douglas are in it. Lots of good supporting cast too.

The show was so funny..especially for a youngster like me at the time. I seldom laugh at any modern shows.
RIP Captain

The Hekawi tribe
The Hekawi appear to be a very small tribe consisting of only one small village. They live an indeterminate distance from Fort Courage, though the directions to their camp are described as: "Make right turn at big rock that look like bear, then make left turn at big bear that look like rock".[1] In "Reunion for O'Rourke", Chief Wild Eagle explains how the tribe got its name: "Many moons ago, tribe leave Massachusetts because Pilgrims ruin neighborhood! Tribe travel west, over stream, over river, over mountain, over mountain, over river, over stream! Then come big day... tribe fall over cliff. That when Hekawi get name. Medicine man say to my ancestor, "I think we lost. Where the heck are we?".[15] "Where the heck are we?" became "We're the Hekawi" (the original name for the tribe in the series, 'Fugawi', was changed after the censors discovered the sentence "Where the Fugawi?"[27]).

A friend of mine has had the NH vanity plate "FAKAWE" for years.

No, but she, too, likes to introduce politics into apolitical threads, so you may be related.
