Actually, Harry, you were quite close about Colonel Harvey. It turns out that after he was busted by Barney he decided to change the formula in his Elixir. He also realized it was not politically correct to call it Indian Elixir, so he removed all the alcohol from it and renamed it Geritol. Actually it turns out he got the GER at the beginning of Geritol from the name Geronimo.
Opie's hobo friend from when he played Robin Hood left Mayberry and ended up joining the circus. He had a booth next to the tattoo lady. He was the only known human to have a patubla oblagonda in the leg. Quite a rarity. Melissa Stevens and her husband ended up getting a divorce. It turned out they tried their scam on another young man and Melissa actually fell in love with him. She is now happily married. Her husband ended up shaving his head and turned up in Hollywood where he landed a part in some TV show called "The Addams Family. Otis Campbell's lawyer, Neil Bentley, sold his practice in Mt. Pilot and joined the law firm of Binder and Binder where it turns out he had a real knack for getting people labeled as disabled so they could collect social security. Little George Foley, the little boy who ran away from home, returned to his home and caused no further problems with his parents. Because he always wanted to be a cowboy he eventually found his way out west where he is now working on a ranch in Western Montana. And as for my friend the "Count" the last I heard he is still floating around granting wishes. In fact I heard that at the last Mayberry Cruise Allan Newsome and his wife Jan had the misfortune of falling overboard. Luckily they were able to swim to an abandoned island. They were there for almost three weeks when suddenly a deck of cards washed up on the shore. They were gypsy cards. Allan decided to tell Jan her fortune. When he dealt the cards he discovered that the Count granted them each on wish. Now being the gentleman that is is Alan decided to let Jan go first. So Jan wished that she was back home safely in her home in Alabama, and POOF she was gone. Allan decided to make his wish but could not decide because Jan had always been the one in their family to make all the important decisions. So he was thinking and thinking ( he didn't have a bucked either) and he suddenly said, "Gee, I wish Jan were here to help me decide". And POOF. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
