the person who told me he died. you were the guy that brought the bad news. first, what was his real name? roy hinkley which i did not know that the professor was named roy hinkley, his name on the show. but like most americans russell johnson will be scientist steve carlson. we hospital over look the fact that he was good on gilligan s island. i still have no clue what anybody is talking about. you mentioned he was a man which is true. he was basically the only adult on the island. if you needed a dispute settled you went to the professor. if you needed the batteries charged, he was your guy. if you needed anything, except a boat built out of coconuts and bamboo, he is your guy. he even made out with ginger. i don t know. it is a part of my life that has gone away.
it has only been three months. and he is so lonely even his shad toe lives separately. it is andy levy. he is alone, but never alone. and if jokes were the sun he would give us skin cancer. it is andrew schulz. and since it is almost april i better do my taxes. sitting next to me, new york times best selling author eric mataxis. his latest book is called seven men. and the secret of their greatness. excellent. you have to admit the title of your book suggests something else. to certain people it would. i know what you mean. i have friends like you. all right. sorry. he left the island for a permanent three-hour tour. that doesn t make sense, but i wrote it. russell johnson who played the professor on gilligan s island has passed away at the age of 89. only two are left. she posted, my heart is broken. russell was a true gentleman and a good father and a great friend and the rest. that was very clever. and now a red eye tribute to the greatest of all castaw
