Ahoy There!

Welcome to the October edition of the Gilligan's Island Fan 
Club. Let's kick this off with some Gilligan games, shall we?

There are a lot of you 'arm-chair' pilots out there, and
if you are a Gilligan fan, you will flip over this! Richard
Nagel has spent many hours designing scenery for a new 
add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator. If you own MS Flt
Sim 95 or 98, then you'll have to download this new 
Gilligan's Island Scenery. Once you add this, you
can pilot your plane over the island, view the huts, the 
beached Minnow, land on the runway and even visit the crew!
Go here to download your free scenery:

**NOTE: If anybody can make us a RealVideo or .avi of an 
island fly-over, please let us know.

Info about the Gilligan's Island Pinball Game is up and
running. Harold Balde (Pinball addict) sent us the rules 
and pictures of the machine, and you can view them here:

Harold also runs a web site that contains over 4,000 tapes
from classic tv shows for trade. If you want to buy pinball 
related items from him, check out "Pintastic" on Ebay. 
He's also working on getting some Gilligan Island promo 
pinball plastic key chains as well. You can e-mail
him at pintastic@yahoo.com. His website is at:

Reverend Troy Schroeder from Kansas is putting a Gilligan's
Island play on at his church, and the script is up for
all to see. As you read the script, you'll believe these words 
actually came out of the castaways' mouths! The script was 
written so well that we had to put it up. You must check 
out this special Christmas script here:

Any Star Trek Voyager fans out there? If so, Danny Stewart
created a Voyager/Gilligan's Island theme. It's a must see
for any Voyager fan!

How about a little swing style song called "Mary Ann?"
A band called "Michael Andrew & Swingerhead" recorded a
song called "Mary Ann." You can listen to it here:

Special thanks goes out to Marco Hernandez for donating his
hard drive to the fan club. Our backup drive gave up, so his
timing was perfect. Thankx a million!

CHAT CHAT CHAT! There is over 2,400 members getting this 
newsletter, so let's all chat together this Saturday (Oct 7)

Did you know that Thurston played in 2 episodes of
the Brady Bunch? Steve D. did this research:

#50 - Ghost Town USA Part 1  The Bradys camp in an old 
deserted mining town after getting a late start on their 
vacation. There they meet Zaccariah T. Brown, (Thurston) a 
grizzled prospector, who suspects they have come to jump 
his new gold claim. 

#51 - Grand Canyon or Bust Part 2  Mike and family manage 
to get the cell key Zaccariah left behind and they discover 
that he has taken their station wagon and trailer. 

And now a word from our fans.

I was watching an episode of "Black's Magic" (a short lived 
series from 1986) on TV Land and saw Tina Louise. She was 
playing a beautiful actress---go figure. Uglystick9

If you go to a TGIFriday's restaurant you can order a
Gilligan's Island Iced Tea. Instead of a regular Long 
Island Iced Tea that uses a touch of cola to give it 
the tea color they use grape juice and it gives it the 
purple color and a grape juice taste. It even comes up 
on the bill as a Gilligan's Isle. (Rick)

I guess that's it for another edition of the Gilligan's
Island Fan Club. Looks as if we might get rescued this
time! A homing pigeon landed on the island and all we 
have to do is tie a message to it and hope that it 
reaches the mainland. Let me know if you get it!
The Howell's bags are already packed!
