RIP


I had no idea he was in a band in the 50s. "The Four Preps" actually had a couple of hits that you might remember, "26 Miles" video:

I'm guessing he was the second tallest guy, right?

I don't know exactly how much Mr. Larson had to do with the creation of Magnum, P.I., because I think of the show as more of a Bellasario production, but I will always be grateful to Larson as a TV producer. His shows, particularly Alias Smith and Jones, have brought me much joy in my lifetime. R.I.P.

That is a real shame!

I found the link that MagnumsGMTMaster posted very interesting.

It was neat to read that Larson based the character Robin Masters on the author Harold Robbins!
http://haroldrobbinsnovels.com/ He did live an interesting life!!

Now we know the real answer to Robin Masters true identity.

Also interesting was his comment about him owning a place in Hawaii where he had a live-in caretaker!!

I think this bit of info should be in the Trivia Section. What do you think Doc and James?

I wonder what house in Hawaii he's speaking of.
