Two more NC towns mentioned on TAGS - Asheville and Jacksonville. Both these towns were mentioned on the reunion episode. I don't remember in what context Asheville was mentioned, but Thelma Lou sent a telegram all the way from Jacksonville to say she was coming to the reunion.

Actual towns
Several actual towns in NC were mentioned on the show. Bannertown, just south of Mt. Airy. Siler City. Mt Pilot, actually Pilot Mtn Raleigh Greensboro Wilmington Can any of you trained noticers detect any more ? Didn't Aunt Bee say she once lived in Morgantown, WV? There were other actual places mentioned too, but they are far away. You don't speak a word of South American. If you won't do it for me, at least do it for Robie Miller. I don't even know Robie Miller! Kind behind the eyes ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Trivia
I just read an interesting bit of Ron Howard Trivia. When he was on Happy Days there is a scene where his parents Howard and Marion come out of the Movie Music Man and talk about how the little boy Winthrop and how he looks a lot like Richie. They were both Ron Howard, of course. Speaking of trivia..who besides Mr. Griffith/Taylor used their own first name on the series? So far I can come up with one background actor. This is just an observation. In the Seth Taylor Statue episode, Seth Taylor is referred to as your Great great Grandfather to both Aunt Bee and Andy. Wouldn't they be a generation apart? So maybe he was just Aunt Bee's Great..and Andy's Great Great something to ponder. The Untrained Voice ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Actual towns
It's interesting how some of the towns mentioned on TAGS take on big city or at least big town status, even if the real towns probably aren't quite that way. To me, Mt. Pilot seemed at least as big as Mayberry, and Siler City seemed like..well, a city. Now Raleigh was the big time...big! Wasn't there a Saverton mentioned when Aunt Bea(e) had to go there once to take care of someone? It seems like there's a Saverton in Missouri, but I'm not sure about NC. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Toast, NC. They mentioned Toast (unincorporated). ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE: Real Places in NC Mentioned on TAGS
...Triplett (Andy went to see Stuart Simmons in Triplett)... Not only is Triplett a real NC place, but Stewart Simmons is/was a real person there. The local fire department is named after him. I want to say he was in the ham business (but that's from a frequently faulty memory).

Guess who I saw giving Sam McCord(John Wayne) a toast. Our very own Mayberrian Henry Bennett(John Qualen). It was only a thirty seconds shot and he didn't have a name but it was our beloved Henry. God bless him. I would also like to thank Scott Dickson who manages the?Mayberry Town Hall site for giving me the opportunity to share some thoughts there. You can read my blog 'THE DAYS OF MAYBERRY' at http//mayberrytownhall.ning.com. Vic Those who believe without seeing will be truly happy I did not get to see that scene with Henry Bennett on North to Alaska, so I was wondering, after he gave John Wayne a toast, did John Wayne get up and say Fly away buzzard, fly away crow, way down south where the winds don't blow?

TAGS characters in other shows
'North To Alaska' One of the few comedies John Wayne madegreat movie. And I just watched an old Maverick with four of our Mayberry friends - Will Wright (Old Ben Weaver), Buddy Ebsen (Hobo Dave Browne, with an e), Peggy McCay (Sharon DeSpain, kissy, kissy), and Mr. Carter (Chubby Johnson - I think he was missing more teeth in this earlier show than in TAGS). I too enjoy spotting TAGS links. If you're not careful it can turn you into a trained noticer.
