I was never entirely clear on the Magnum/Sullivan family tree, and as I
recall, those considerably more expert in the field than I aren't
either. David Ramas would be the only one I'd trust on this, and as to
whether the referenced relative was a Magnum or not. Since I
cross-referenced this thread to alt.tv.magnum-pi, hopefully he'll chime
in.
Ah, here we go:
http://magnum-mania.com/Episodes/Season6/Going_Home.html
"2 Wow, Magnum had a half brother named "Joey" who was killed in 'Nam!
Based on the home movies shown, Thomas appeared to be about eight or
nine years older than Joey. Joey was the son of his mother Katherine and
his stepfather Frank Peterson."
So Joey would have had NO claim to the Magnum family name. He'd have
been a Sullivan Peterson.
Peterson PI
Yeah -- that'll sell some tickets.
