Barney's knowledge
Holland, Of course Barney knew all about giraffes and baked Alaska. He subscribed to the Learn a Month magazine that covered a new subject every month. He was very well read. One of the easiest things to sell when I was younger was Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Our church youth group would sell them door to door on Saturday mornings and they were an easy sell. Everyone loves them, especially early on a Saturday. I haven't seen anyone selling them door to door in many, many years. Anyone know why??

Mayberry pictures
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed seeing the Mayberry '09 pictures that Holland Shoaf posted. Seeing many of the original actors.Betty Lynn, Elinor Donohue, the Dillard boys, Maggie Peterson, James Best and others brought back a lot of great memories of TAGS! I plan on sharing them with family members and friends this weekend. I've been a great fan since my childhood, and being an elementary school teacher, I use Mayberry music in my classroom whenever I can! Thanks again!

RE: Thelma Lou in Little House on the Prairie
That's pretty neat! I didn't realize that Betty Lynn appeared on Little House. It seems that she deserved more in the episode than the part at the end, but any time she appears is newsworthy, in my book. She's such a wonderful lady!

Door-To-Door Selling
Hey folks! Harry asked about the lack of people selling stuff door-to-door. I don't know about your neck of the woods, but people are not allowed to do that here anymore. There were so many unsavory characters with bad intentions that they just outlawed it. BUT Harry, if you want to bring me some Krispy Kreme donuts (or chocolate, coconut, or Key Lime pie), I'll gladly give you a couple dollars!

Roy
Goober's friend Roy, finally did make good, but not in the service station business. His real name is rather unforgettable because of is rather unusual: Noam Pitlik. Besides his extensive acting career, Noam was a highly respected director of TV comedies. He won an Emmy in 1979 for Barney Miller and was nominated for 6 more along the way. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Ron Howard on The Daily Show
Thursday night's Daily Show featured a nice interview with Ron Howard talking about his latest movie, The Dilemma. He actually discussed The Andy Griffith Show a lot, telling that often repeated story about how he came up with ideas all the time and they got ignored until one was used in the second episode of season 2 (Barney's Replacement), and Andy told him it was the first one you had that was any...good! BTW I remember Grit, the newspaper, and I actually had a guy next door to me sell them. I always bought one because there was a cartoon feature in each issue that profiled a different old time radio show.

Weddings in Mayberry
I just watched the Mayberry RFD episode where Andy and Helen were married. It reminded me a lot of my wedding back in 1970. Weddings were so different. Not the elaborate debt educing events that they now are. We had a simple candlelight ceremony in my wife's home church followed by a quiet intimate reception in the church basement. Like the new Taylors, we too only had fruit punch to drink. My wife's mother made Linda's wedding gown and all the bridesmaid's dresses. Our entire wedding cost around $500 and our honeymoon was a five day camping trip to Canada. My mother-in-law had a dinner at the farm the night of the rehearsal for all my family who were coming to the wedding. Our photo album contains ten small black and white photos that were taken by a photographer. The best part of the entire wedding is that my wife and I are still happily married after almost 42 years. This all goes to prove one thing. If you want a happy marriage, you don't have to go to Mount Pilot. You also do not have to spend a lot of money either. I should say too, that next year is our 42nd anniversary and I plan to take my wife to Ireland. Then I plan to go back to get her on our 50th. Kenneth G.
