* Hello. I have watched "AMC" from time to time and enjoyed it but am not really a member of the fan community. I am, however, working on a project concerned with "Gilligan's Island" and I have seen a segment where Greenlee, I believe, dreams she is Maryann on Gilligan's Island. What I am interested in is her relationship with each of the characters who play Gilligan and the Professor, respectively, in that segment. The Gilligan character claims he knows alot about hammocks--which AMC character is that, what is his relation to Greenlee and what is he like, in general. Same with the "Professor" character. Can you or another "AMC" fan help me with this info, please? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you and continue enjoying "AMC." littlemonster3141@yahoo.com

*Hi there!
You may remember me as "Dixie" from All My Children, or "Rosanna" from As The
World Turns".
Sorry for the group e-mail, but it's the best way to announce... I wrote a book!
It's called "Conversations with the Invisible"- a book of poems and collages-
the first of three- that I have been working on for MANY years.
I have to warn you, this book is an art book that deals with some very adult
subjects in a creative way. If you are under 16 or easily offended or upset,
please do not buy this book! If you are interested in art and poetry, and
creative ways to express your feelings, I hope you do consider it!
If you go to my blog,
www.cadymcclain.com/blog there is a link box at the bottom of the text that
will allow you to order it or check out a book preview, if you just want to
peek! Or you can go to "the bookstore" at
www.blurb.com, and check out all kinds of interesting books!
Or here is the direct link
http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/191810 The
entire cost goes to publishing, so I'm not making a dime, but I will donate 5
dollars (of my own money) for every book sold to the Christian Children's Fund,
in the hope of creating a better tomorrow for a child in need.
Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you are having a great weekend!
xoxo
Cady
