Does Morris still do summer courses for high school kids? I did that twice in 1986/87 which led to my U enrollment (and eventually a spot on the Gopher team).
The computer course was taught on their PDP-11. My first exposure to Unix and C. I made a little curses-based skiing game.
Also had a SciFi/Fantasy course. We spent most of it playing D&D.
There is a gophervr build that runs on current hardware. let me know if you're interested...

And of course without licensing we would never had been able to coerce Adam Curry wearing a Gopher T on MTV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyxIwy1bW_M
