I too remember him as Little Joe. He was the baby brother. Michael Landon played that part. Unfortunately he died in his 50s from pancreatic cancer. Pernell Roberts, Adam, also died of pancreatic cancer but not until he was in his 80s. But Hoss, Dan Blocker, died in his 40s of a pulmonery embolism. I remembered feeling a significant loss when I heard of each of their deaths. That was definitely a different era.

Do you remember Pernell in Trapper John, M.D. from the 70s? I loved that show as well, though I couldn't now tell you much about it other than that Pernell played the Chief of Surgery at a San Francisco hospital. There have been too many similarly themed hospital sitcoms since then.

My Canadian ancestry goes back to the 1700s so I have been immersed in Canadian trivia and history. 2017 will be Canada's 150th anniversary and so you will probably be hearing lots about that and Canada's history next year. It sounds like a year-long celebration is in the works.🙋 🇨🇦
