Hoss was an elementary teacher from my home town. He used to drive his DeTomaso back to visit sometimes.

I didn't particularly like the book, which I read as a youngster after watching LOTS of the TV show.

I really liked Doug McClure in the role of Trampas on the TV show and just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that, in the book, he was a really bad guy ...
