1. Until a fire destroyed my mother's house in 2012.....

She had the original Life, Look, and Sat. Evening Post editions of the JFK assisination.

I still have mine from the RFK assisnation from Look magazine.

3. I had that RFK LOOK Mag one for a long time

2. Intro to Gilligan's Island was shot that weekend. All flags at half staff/mast

They changed the intro for season 2.

4. I'm thinking the flags weren't the reason for the intro reshoot

There was (1) they needed a version filmed in color, and (2) Bob Denver insisted the theme song be changed to specifically refer to the characters played by Russell Johnson (The Professor) and Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) instead of "the rest".

6. As I understand it they didn't reshoot

They cut out the ending when they pass by a big flag

8. It is hard to find a lot of verifiable facts about that

I read that the second season opening credit sequences were filmed at a marina in Long Beach, California. But I cannot find that information now.

5. I still have my Life and Look mags from late 1963.

I have looked at them a couple of times since.
