What did Ward Cleaver really do for a living? Up-board in this thread someone referred to Ward as an engineer. Or, was he an accountant or maybe even a lawyer? Ward, always talked of his work as simply being at the, "Office." While Fred Rutherford always called it being down at the, "The salt mines," or sometimes, "the coal mines." But, I think this screen grab I took (I don't remember the episode) finally spills the beans! Look at the wall and the upper framed certificate. It says Ward Cleaver is a member of the Stock Exchange. And wouldn't that make him a stock broker? And I do recall once that Ward said something about having million dollar clients. Did I finally solve this long time TV mystery?

Back in the mid-80s I was a professional skydiver and involved in a few A-Team episodes that were filmed at the Sable Movie Ranch. In the downtime between scenes the cast would have a poker game going. Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schultz, and Mr. T all played cards together and it seemed like a boisterous and fun time for them. George Peppard, on the other hand, was a sort of grumpy gus - and I never saw him out of his trailer unless he was in a scene.
