Yep, Finn had a daughter.

I met him briefly once, and spoke with him a number of times, when I was on Rifleman's staff in the early 1990s.

Very, VERY nice guy, and very unassumping.

Peter Capstick was alwasy nice, but he could be a bit pompous.

Charles Askins? Well he just scared the absolute **** out of me. He's the only person I've ever met whom I would unhesitatingly call a born killer. Had he lived in the Old West I think he would be one of the legends on par with Hickock, Hardin, or Earp.
