Raleigh
Hey Mayberry friends. My grandaughter's class has a field trip to the state capitol (Raleigh,NC) next week and her grandmother and I will be tagging along. We've been discussing where we might eat. I'll have to brush up on my French so I don't order snails and brains. On second thought, a brown paper sack full o'sandwiches ain't too bad. Larry in Lincolnton Comin' over here without my gun and belt, I felt absolutely naked. Barney Fife ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
coloring books
I've enjoyed the humorous comments about the coloring books, now for a real answer: there were two different Andy Griffith Show coloring books produced, both by Whitman, around 1961. One was about a centimeter thick, bore a cover price of 50 cents, and had a blue cover with Opie holding baseball equipment. The other was much thinner, like a typical comic book, with a 10 cent price and a yellow cover which showed Opie sitting on a barstool with an ice cream soda in front of him. I have heard that the one with the blue cover exists in a thin version but I've never seen one. The thin book contained only Mayberry pictures, and the thick version had all of the same pages, plus many more generic coloring book pages. Both are quite rare today; if you can find one that hasn't been colored in, expect to pay $150 or more, possibly much more. I personally have one of the yellow ones that is in absolutely perfect mint condition, I've had it professionally framed and it is sitting on top of my old piano. Should you search eBay or the Internet for these books, BEWARE, there are reprints out there of the yellow one, and it's hard to tell them from the originals. I think I might have an extra blue one around here someplace, if someone is interested send me an email. As far as coloring pages go, you should be able to find some online by doing a Google search for Andy Griffith coloring pages. Any that you find will be scans from these 1961 books. --Paul Mulik ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Smoke Signals and out the ears
Hi Gang, Asking about smoking on the show brings to mind, Colonel Harvey smoked a cigar (or is that SEE GAR), and made smoke signals for Opiealso, Mr. McBeevie could make smoke come out of his ears. Mayor Stoner has a cigar when he walks into the courthouse on THE LOADED GOAT episode, and I remember Otis puffing away in one episode. Ron Bailey was smoking on the pier as Andy and Opie were fishing, and Malcom Tucker had a cigar on the front porch while pacing up and down as well. Oh, I just remembered the guys were smoking at the fancy club Andy and Barney were invited to, and in the color episode when Andy went to the ritzi Hollander house when all the dads got together. I'm sure there are more if I was to put my mind to it :) Mike Peacock Connersville In ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Smoking
I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about this as we discussed it in the past, but these are the ones that came to mind right away. I am sure there must be more. Prisoner of Love smoked and blew the smoke right in Barney's face. Barney smoked while in jail and also smoked a cigar when he was feeling sport like. Freddie Fleet smoked when he was talking to Andy in the courthouse. Mr. McBeevey smoked and made smoke come out of his ears. Colonel Harvey smoked a cigar and made smoke signals. Fred Goss smoked and dropped ashes all over Otis's clean suit. Andy smoked numerous times, even in bed. ( Don't think he smoked in color episodes) Citizen of the Day Mr. Mooney smoked at the end of the episode. One of the Darlings always had a pipe going. Otis Campbell smoked when he told Andy about Aunt Bee and Fred Goss Gentleman Dan smoked cigars from Tampa Roger Hanover borrowed money from Andy so he could go get cigars though I don't think we saw him smoke. Several members of the Esquire club smoked. Several men at Opie's Saturday gathering at Oakwood Hills smoked. Escaped prisoner's girlfriend smoked as she went back into the trailer to get her cigarettes. Daphne's boyfriend who punched Andy was smoking when he came into the truck stop One of the crooks who held Andy and Howard hostage smoked while keeping watch at the window. The courthouse furnace really smoked when Newton Monroe tried to clean it.

Airy Thursday...took a couple from our church who had never been. He is 81 and has health issues, but did pretty good most of the way. The famous pork chop sandwich helped him a lot!

re: coloring pages
I actually have some coloring pages related to TAGS on a flashdrive somewhere. I downloaded them from a website but I don't know which one and I don't even know who did them. If anyone knows where, the person requesting them could maybe find them. If I knew for sure that it was ok to send them by email (w/o breaking any rules or laws) I would be willing to do that. If anyone can tell me, let me know and we could work out something... Lisa _ The New Busy is not the too busy.
