'Gilligan' donates truck piled with toys to charity

Gilligan turned into Santa's helper when former television star Bob Denver and his wife joined a West Virginia car dealership's toy campaign.

"I think it's all been fantastic. It has only been 45 minutes, and we've already done really well," Denver said during Saturday's event, which transformed Ramey Chrysler's lot into an island of toys.

Denver, star of the 1960s TV show "Gilligan's Island," and his wife, Dreama, donated a pickup truck full of toys and a $1,000 check to the Princeton Quota Club. The couple live in the area. All the toys will go to the Marine Corps League's Toys for Tots campaign.
