Ahoy There Maties!

Welcome to the March 2003 edition of the Gilligan's Island Fan Club Newsletter! Over 3,721
members world-wide and growing!

First of all I must point out that we are NOT the real cast from the show, or pretend 
to be. I must admit, we do such a fine job portraying the crew from the show, we can 
see how it can be misleading. A caption has been added to where our e-mail addresses are
located. Even though we are not the real cast, we know more about the show than the
original cast did. I'm not sure, but I don't think the real cast members ever watched
the series a 100 times or more. Could we be wrong Mr. Denver? As I was saying, us 7 are
experts when it comes to Gilligan trivia. If we don't know, we'll put our heads
together and get an answer for you. OK, enough on that.

We have a new Ginger! She has been a fan all of her life and can't wait to answer your
questions! Welcome aboard "Ginger."

The Transmitter has been found! Thanks to our good buddy, Michael Sohnly, he has found 
photo's, manuals and the model number for the Transmitter used on Gilligan's Island. Here's 
the links for the transmitter:

Thanks to KungfuML for tracking this one down!

CSC told us that there is a new book out called "Gilligan's Wake." Not sure what it's 
about as I don't have it yet. You can go to www.amazon.com and type in Gilligan's Wake. 
You'll see what I'm talking about.

Classic TV Shop has informed us that they will be coming out with Gilligan's Island 
Bobbin' Heads! We'll let you know when they are released. 

We need some real good quotes for upcoming newsletters. As you can see, we ran out. 
No quote for this month. Send me your best quote from the show and we'll add it to the
top of our newsletters and give you credit! They have to be good ones. Not just Gilligan
saying "Skiperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." Also, please check our quotes section first to see if
we already have it. If we have it on our quotes page, then it's already been in one 
of our newsletters.

Off to the beach to get some seaweed for Ginger's specialty. "Seaweed Soup!"

Until next time, "Smooth Sailing."
