BOB DENVER, 70, perennially goofy sitcom star, most famously of the critically panned but ceaselessly popular Gilligan's Island, which aired from 1964 to 1967 and is still in reruns; of cancer; in Winston-Salem, N.C. He won over teenagers in the late 1950s as the goateed, bongo-playing beatnik Maynard G.

...birthday parties as well. On Halloween Sal, Ron and 2,600 Rockyites--some from as far away as Montreal, London, Sacramento, Winston-Salem, N.C., and the Bronx--made a pilgrimage to Manhattan's cavernous Beacon Theater for a tenth-anniversary bash.

Business is so good at Pine Hall Brick Co. in Winston-Salem, N.C., that the company raised prices 3% in January--its first increase since 2001 for face brick used in housing--and plans a similar price increase next year. The company is doubling output at its Fairmont, Ga., plant and boosting head count 8%, to 320 workers. "We designed the plant to double capacity over three years," says president Fletcher Steele...
...investment banker who helped take Krispy Kreme Doughnuts public, Phalen, 33, became well acquainted with the company, based in Winston-Salem, N.C. In January he became CFO of the rapidly growing chain. His experience with consumer companies while he was in corporate finance at CIBC World Markets will come in handy as he manages Krispy Kreme's balance sheet for future growth. The firm, with about 340 shops in the U.S., Canada, Britain and Australia, enters Mexico this winter and is eyeing Asia...
