So long, little buddy
Gilligan is dead at age 70.
There are three things that spook me about this: (1) Despite the fact that I have not seen "Gilligan's Island" since about 1980, I can still sing the song and hear all of the characters' voices in my head; (2) age and infirmity apparently conquer even folks who have survived on a desert island for four decades; and (3) last time I saw Bob Denver, he looked about 30 years old.
My respects also to Maynard G. Krebs of "Dobie Gillis." Pop culture marches on.
