Ahoy Maties!

Quote of the month:

Skipper:   We're trying to signal that boat out there?
Gilligan:  What boat?
Skipper:   The boat out there.
Gilligan:  I don't see any boat.
Skipper:   Of course you don't.
Gilligan:  Do you?
Skipper:   No.
Gilligan:  Professor, do you see the boat?
Professor: Oh, I can't see it either.
Gilligan:  But it's out there, right?
Skipper:   Look, Mary Ann saw the boat out there.
Gilligan:  Can you see Mary Ann?
Skipper:   No. How can I see Mary Ann when she isn't even here?
Gilligan:  The same way you can see the boat.

(Man I love that one!)

It's another year, 2002! We're suppose to be living like the "Jetson's" by now, but here we are,
still walking around and driving cars for a living (Well, some of us are). Not too much to say 
about this year except that I hope it brings us FAR more happiness that 2001 did!

TV Land has produced a CD ROM Game called "Blast From The Past." It was a lot of fun. Great for 
parties or just with some friends. Not only is Bob Denver in it, but other stars such as 
Barbara Eden, Florence Henderson and more. The questions aren't that hard either. And the 
actor's and actresses actually ask the questions! BLAST FROM THE PAST TV celebrities appear 
live on video and ask challenging questions about their TV shows in a very entertaining and 
comical way. In addition, the stars reveal exciting behind the scenes trivia. For more
information you can visit their web site at: http://www.blastfromthepast.com

Do you live near Hermosa Beach, California? If so, on Jan 5th there will be a "Gilligan Bash!" 
For more info go to their web site. If you go please let us know how it went. Looks like 52 
people are already going. Should be interesting!?

If you missed it, then get your vcr's ready again. 
"Gilligan's Island: The E! True Hollywood Story"

Fan club member Jen made Gilligan page and I told her I would mention it to all
http://www.angelfire.com/celeb2/fan_site/e_v_homepage.html

Tony dedicated his time into making an Alan Hale Jr.site. Since Alan's place was missing on the
net, he put up some stuff just of Alan.

If any of you are creative writers and want to make a Gilligan's Island story, just send it to 
me and we'll put them on the site for all to see. I know there's got to be a few of your out 
there.

Not too much going on in the Gilligan world these days, but if something comes up, you'll be the 
first to know. Happy New Year!!!
