Skipper Duke

I found out when my now retired friend Raymond S. Meldrum of American Patrol Cap & Canvas Co. started making The Skipper with Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. templates. He started making the Skipper in 2017. Here's his post. ANOUNCMENT- NEW APCO PRODUCT Check it out, Finally Available!

Wow yeah! 😲

bo-go-vroom... You just reminded me of something. Alan Hale Jr. (Skipper Jonas Grumby) from Gilligan's Island (1964-1967) born 1921 died 1990, is nickname for his wife Naomi Hale was Trinket. 😀 Good luck on your job hunt, I hope you can land yourself something.

Don't listen to those who say "Dukes is boring." They don't understand it like we do.

Wow! 😀

I will post the playlist of the Reunion movies here, soon as TV Stunter channel on YouTube starts uploading them there.

Wow! 😲

Wow! That's a long time ago.

Oh no! 😢😭💔

Which one did Bella Legosee play Dracula in? Fred Sanford mentions him in Sanford and Son. The episode when he's sick from eating 8 day old Collard Greens. Lamont gets the news from the doctor, and he starts smiling at Fred, and Fred says "What's a matter with you? Why you smilin' at me, like Bella Legosee or somebody?" 😂

I'm sad that some Christine (1983) locations have changed over the years. 😢😭💔 The house played Roland D. LeBay's old tract house where his brother George LeBay sells the late Roland's car Christine to Arnie Cunningham, the house is gone now. The overpass where Christine chases Malcolm Danare (Peter Moochie Welch) to kill him, the area has changed also. The bridge Christine hid under waiting for him is gone now. Some are still standing. Like the school used as Rock Bridge High School. I heard that was a real school. I'm not sure of its real name. Changed to Rock Bridge High School for the movie high school scenes.

Christine Trivia: The book John Stockwell (Dennis Guilder) grabs off the library shelf during study hall is actually a hardback copy of the film's source material Stephen King's Christine.

Uh oh. 😂

You know the haunted possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury Christine, she will heal you fast. 😂
