Ima Hogg
The banker in the town where I grew up, had a cousin named Ima Hogg. But they pronounced it with a long 'o' , like hoag. The joke was 'where's your brother 'Hesa'?

Doors and walls
Through this discussion of doors and such, I was reminded of the time Barney was locked in the bank vault. I think in freeing himself he broke through the bank's wall and into the beauty shop... right? And without an appointment mind you ! You'all Have A Mayberry Day !

Rain
Rain in Mayberry has often been the subject on here, so I hope y'all don't mind me telling that today a 114 year record of no measurable rain on July 12th, in Salem Oregon just was broken. Just like an article one would expect in a Mayberry news paper, it appeared on the front page. Salem was also the only city in Oregon to have this distinction. Oh well, it is still the State Capitol. Actually I live in Keizer which which was established in the 1980s, due to the fact that we did not want to be annexed by Salem. We're an independent bunch of folks, that's what makes Mayberry, oops I meant Keizer so great..

governor
I always thought it was funny that the governor stopped in Mayberry to shake Barney's hand and tell him good job, but He still didn't pay the ticket while he was there. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Mysterious doors
While we are on the subject of mystery doors that lead to ??. How about the one in Andy and Helen's redecorated bedroom that appears in episode 125, The Rumor? It looks like it may lead to an outside porch but since this room is upstairs it would have to be a deck or add-on and I don't recall seeing any such structure in any of the exterior shots of the house. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Hoggs
By the way, being from Texas, I did mention before that I'm a Texan right? Anyway, we're acquainted with the name Ima Hogg. She's old Governor Hogg's daughter and possibly they're some distant kin to Hog and Hogette Winslow. There's still people around here who will swear that Ima had a twin sister named Yura, but that ain't true. After all, who'd name their kid Yura Hogg? Sorry for the chit chat, I just hate normal conversation. Kim - Wylie, TX Are these folks any relation to the Clampett's friend, the honorable Mayor Amos Hogg of Bugtussle?

Nathan Tibbs
Good observations, Sam. The ladies do say from the beginning that they are positive that the direct descendant of Nathan Tibbs lives in Mayberry or a nearby town, but how they figured this out remains a mystery. Think about it: genealogists ALWAYS start with the known present, and work back into the unknown past. How did these ladies come to their conclusion anyway? What did they do, uncover an old letter that reads Hello, my name is Nathan Tibbs, and 185 years from now, I will have exactly one living descendant, and he will live in or near the town of Mayberry? It's a great episode, but you have to admit, the premise is ludicrous. The women also made another obvious error: Otis has at least one brother (Ralph Campbell), and they insisted all along that Tibbs had only one living descendant. As far part 2 of your question: Winken told Blinken, Blinken told Nod, Nod told Barney, and Barney told Mayor Pike. --Paul P.S. Ima Hogg (1882-1975) was a real person, the daughter of the Texas governor James Big Jim Hogg, but there was never a Ura Hogg, that part of the tale is an urban legend. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ima_Hogg Was watching A Plaque for Mayberry and it struck me that, when Mayor Pike hands over the town records, he calls for a meeting on Wednesday to announce who the descendant of Nathan Tibbs is even though a] the ladies don't yet know for sure if he has any living descendants and 2] how could he know whether they would have the answer by Wedneday or not?

Mayberry Moment
There was a Mayberry Moment in my local paper the other day. On the same page there was an article about a town on the east coast that had a Civil War cannon that the town council sold. Then right below was a picture of some men in a town near me who helped rebuild the bandstand for the town park. Gomer, get down there with them spiders and start workin'!
