Goodbye, Gilligan . . .


Those of us who were adolescents during the 60's and 70's would like to ask the rest of you to pause for a moment while we remember our friend, Bob Denver - better known as Gilligan.

Denver passed away yesterday at the age of 70. But most of us who are now in our late 40's and 50's will remember him as the wacky shipmate on "The Minnow" that set out on a three hour tour, only to run ashore on a tropical island and provide us with years of entertainment.

I hope someday someone will do a psychological study of each of the seven characters who were marooned on that island - I suspect that each of them represented us in some significant way, and thus our attraction.

See you later, little Buddy!!
