Joshua’s People 10/28/05

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Dedicated to the memory of Bob Denver
Bob is remembered by most as “Gilligan” but he will always be “Maynard G. Krebs” to me (the “G” stands for Walter). I am certain a bit of Krebs was behind my character “Hip Pockets.” The “Father-O” being a bad pun on Kreb’s “Daddy-O.”

Politics alone would separate us by a chasm that is too far to cross.
