Thank you, Allan.....
First, for getting the Digest going out again - I look forward to receiving it every day. (I would like to make a small contribution to help keep it going - do you have a PayPal account?) Second, for that Mayberry Music trivia game - a lot of fun, memories of some great Mayberry moments. And last, but not least - for spreading the great news about "The Mayberry Man" movie - really exciting!

Thank you for Mayberry Meetup
Thank you to Allan and Jan Newsome and all the others whose names I wish I knew to include here, for a wonderful time at the Mayberry Meetup in Mt. Airy a few weeks ago. From arranging meals for us to the Sunday Worship service (which cleverly correlated scripture with a TAGS episode focused on Otis), I know more hours went into preparing for this event than I can imagine. Thank you to the tribute artists. It was easy to tell which characters they were and it was so much fun to see them. Very impressive. Thank you to Dewey Lamb for all the creative door prizes he made. He always puts a lot of thought, time, (and I suspect, money), into making TAGS treasures. And thank you to all of you who I got to speak with, hang out with, and get to know a bit. Mayberry fans are the best. Maryann Sent from my Verizon LG Smartphone ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Thank You
I want to thank everyone for the kind words regarding my Mayberry articles. The editor called me and said she is getting a lot of very positive comments because people enjoy so much reading nostalgic articles. Janine, regarding that portable fan you sent me. We were at a car show Thursday night and it was very hot. We had a nice spot under a shade tree, but the gal who runs the show was so hot. So I took the little fan up to her and asked her if she wanted to use it. She just loved it. She asked where I got it from so I had to share the story of you sending it to me. She thought that was so nice. I told her that that is just the way Mayberry folks are. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Re: Thank You to Mayberry
Allan - some might say it was a Freudian slip ... but when I read your words (“I do encourage everyone to find those other avenues to connect with fellow fans as an addition to the fellowship we share on the Digest”), I read it as “addiction” instead of “addition” & it still made perfect sense!

Thank you to Mayberry
Hey folks, I want to say how thankful I am to all of you. We have around 1300 folks that get this WBMUTBB Digest everyday and many have been subscribe for YEARS. My goal, as the admin, has always been to help Mayberry fans connect and feel a part a the bigger Mayberry community. Over the years, we have seen services and website come to help fans connect (Facebook, iMayberryCommunity, etc) but I know there is still a place for the Digest in the Mayberry world. I do encourage everyone to find those other avenues to connect with fellow fans as an addition to the fellowship we share on the Digest. You can actually see PHOTOS of one another and communicate in a more instant way than you can here on the Digest which only helps to grow those friendships more quickly. I don't write too often here, nor anywhere else actually, but I *do* read every WBMUTBB Digest. This group has meant so much to so many for so long and for that I am thankful. To keep the conversation going, send in a "daily quote" or a bit of trivia. Tell us about how your day is made just a bit better by sitting down to an episode of Andy when you get home from the stressful day. We're all fans and we ALL have similar tells to be told. It's that connection that makes us part of the greater Mayberry community. I'll be gone on the Cruise to Mayberry 12 until about 30 October but know that in spirit I'll be here. I can't check e-mail on the cruise but I can post things on Facebook. Follow me is you have a mind to: https://facebook.com/anewsome https://www.facebook.com/TwoChairs/ or join the Two Chairs No Waiting podcast Group on Facebook so you can talk to one another: https://www.facebook.com/groups/twochairs Mainly, keep that Mayberry spirit alive and enjoy all that The Andy Griffith Show has to offer.

Allan Thank You
Allan, Thank you so much for managing the WBMUTBB Digest. It is a joy to read and provide occasional submissions. Hopefully in the not-to-distant future I can meet you at Mayberry Days. I suggested to my wife that we could celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in 2018 at Mayberry Days...I'm still waiting on her reply and I mentioned it last week. ☺ She's not near the TAGS fan that I am. A TAGS Smile: I recently watched the episode where Barney refers to the Mayberry jail as "The Rock". Watching Gomer's expression while Barney is instructing the inmates about the rules at The Rock is hilarious and ALWAYS makes me laugh and smile...like most anything that Barney says, or does. It's also a joy to watch Andy capture the inmates and then credit Barney for coming up with the idea of dropping the light bulbs off the courthouse roof to simulate the sound of machine guns. Barney goes from feeling VERY BAD about himself, to "cloud nine" after Andy gives him the credit for the capture. I hope all is well with my fellow WBMUTBB subscribers. Congrats to Ken and his wife on another successful parade season. I can't even imagine keeping that kind of schedule after my retirement, but when you're doing something you absolutely love, I guess that makes it much easier. Thanks for spreading good news and good cheer to everyone you meet, Ken. Barney's Rules to Survive Time at The Rock 1. Obey all rules! 2.

A Long Thank You
Several weeks ago I reached the seventh decade of life and to be perfectly honest, I had a rather hard time accepting that fact. However, my body has a tendency to keep reminding me that I actually am 70 years old. But then reality returned to me and I realized that I am such a fortunate person because I can spend my time doing something that I really love. There was a time in my life, a long time ago, when I came very close to going astray. I was a confused young person with no goals or plan for my life. Fortunately I met a couple of teachers who took me under their wing my first year of college, and they virtually turned my life around. When I first began watching TAGS when I was 14 years old, little did I realize that 56 years later that quintessential town of Mayberry with all its lovable citizens would have such an important impact on my life. I had no idea that because of an old black and white TV show, I would meet virtually thousands of people over the years who would bring to my life so much joy and satisfaction. I was fortunate to have been a child during a time when I never even heard about drugs. I didn't know what it was like to lock the doors to our house. School was a place of safety where I spent time with my friends learning new things and having fun. I was naive enough not to know that there were dangerous people around who might hurt me. My world was about a ten square mile area and seldom did I ever venture outside my little world. The rules we lived by were well defined. We knew what we should do and what we should not do. There was little gray area and the pentameters of behavior were quite stringent at home, in school, and when we were out in public. My family did not have much money at all and we had few materialistic things. But it really didn't bother me because most of my friends were in the same situation. I pray often prayers of thanks that I grew up when I did and where I did. I think all the things I have mentioned are the reasons I love TAGS so much. I see so many things while watching TAGS that I have experienced in my life and it makes me laugh and it makes me thankful. But then I realize that the young people of today will never experience the kind of life that my friends and i had when we were young. And that makes me sad. One of the things I have learned over the years that I have been "The Mayberry Guru" is that so many people today are searching for something. They are searching for a way of life without the hate, violence, mistrust, and materialism that is so prevalent today. I hear it all the time. So many say, "I wish I could live in a time and place like Mayberry". But we know that is impossible. We cannot turn the clock back. Each and everyone one of you folks here with the Digest are so important and necessary. Each one of you helps to keep TAGS and Mayberry alive. We can never go back to the way life once was. And it was by no means perfect, but it certainly was different. So I want to say "Thank You' to everyone of you for being a part of the Mayberry World that we live in. Even though I have not met many of you personally, I consider you to be a part of my family. My Mayberry family. And for that I am very very thankful.

News and a Thank You
I had a rather unsettling experience today. My wife and I took our squad car and our Chevy convertible to a Senior Resident Facility about seven miles from our home. I was to give my Mayberry presentation and then the residents were going to look at our cars. When we arrived, I went and opened the trunk of the squad car so I could unload my two wheel suitcases which contained all my equipment. However, there was a slight problem. My suitcases were not there. Someone, who shall remain nameless, forgot to put them in the car. So my wife offered to go back to our house in the convertible to retrieve my suitcases. Because of all the traffic lights, I knew it would delay my presentation by at least a half hour. And that is exactly what happened. However, all the residents and staff were very understanding and they enjoyed my program very much. As one resident told me, "We haven't got anywhere else to go." It is so good to associate with such caring people. Speaking of caring people, I want to thank one of our very own for a very nice act of kindness. I had posted about the terrible hot weather we have been having lately and how hot it gets being at my car shows and walking in parades in my uniform. Well, our own Janine, AKA, Aunt Bee, took it upon her self to help me out. She sent me a wonderful battery operated fan that can by hung around the neck. When turned on, it blows wonderful cool air right up to your face. I hadn't seen one like it before and it works great. I will certainly put it to good use during our many events. In fact I will be using it when I am driving the squad car because it is not equipped with air conditioning. So Janine, I thank you once again. You certainly represent all the kindness that Mayberry is about. I appreciate you thoughtfulness very much and you can be assured that i probably will no longer have to be a "hot head". -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

I would like to thank Brian for his very kind words. I consider it a great honor to be able to travel around Wisconsin spreading all what is wonderful about Mayberry. We were at a car show today, Mother's Day, at our state university and we had a very long visit with a delightful young family. They just love Mayberry and they had so many questions and their young kids were so interested too. College kids had a lot of very positive things to say too, but of course I had to explain to many of them what Mayberry is all about. Don't know what they are teaching in these colleges now days.

My friend was amazed and asked how I knew that.

Thank you, Joe, Dewey, and Sande
I came home from a very busy day at the supermarket where I work very tired and longing for an old fashioned trip to a small grocery store. Although I must admit where I work is a very very enjoyable place to work and I do get to to visit with so many great people throughout the day. Well anyway, to make a long story even longer, I got home and turned on the computer and went to WBMUTBB. And what did I find? Three of the most wonderful postings that I had every read. To Sande, Joe, and Dewey, what can I say but thank you from the bottom of my heart. Can you imagine what our lives would be like if all of us on the Digest could live in a community together? What a special place that would be. It would be filled with wonderful people and we would live in harmony ( most of the time) and enjoy the simple things of life. Personally I would like to own the small grocery store on Main Street. Seriously, you folks on the Digest are what makes being a Mayberry fan so great. I often share things from the Digest with friends of mine here in Eau Claire and they are amazed how so many people from different walks in life from all over the country can come together every day and share a common love. -- 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/
Thank You to Bob and Other Nonsense
Thank you Bob for your kind words. You almost done and made me cry. Us Andersons are sensitive you know. I know sometimes I get carried away a bit but I just cannot help it. Guess sit is better than being negative. I just love life so much. Both my wife and I have numerous health issues to deal with each day and we both say that if we didn't laugh and joke about it we would cry. I don't think I have ever mentioned it, but my wife was born with just one hand. ( true ). It has never prevented her from doing anything. She refused to have an artificial hand so she gets by with one. She is an excellent knitter and she loves to crochet. She spends ten hours a day on the computer at work and she must maintain the same production and standards as the other 1200 people in the company. And despite her being differentlyable, she has won numerous awards at work. And she maintains a great sense of humor about it. Her favorite joke is to tell people her favorite place to shop is a Second Hand Store. Now she tells people that our squad car cost us an arm and a leg and she had it half paid for. She says the only things she cannot do are to clap hands or twiddle her thumbs. And that is true. She is an amazing lady and she was a lucky gal the day she found me. I mean the day I found her. S again to Bob and to all the others who email me on occasion regarding my posts, please accept my humble appreciation for your kind words. I know sometimes humor can be misinterpreted and if I ever offend anyone unintentionally, please let me know so I can apologize to you. Now for a TAGS question? Could someone tell me what time first thing in the morning is? I have noticed lately that this phrase is used quite often on TAGS by a number of characters. They quite often say something like I will be there first thing in the morning. Now to my wife, first thing in the morning is 4 a.m. because that is what time she gets up to get ready for work. To a banker first thing in the morning might be 9 a.m. and to yours truly first thing in the morning is around ten o'clock. So I have often wondered what time that would be in Mayberry time. Any ideas?? -- 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/

Thank You Readers
I would like to publicly thank so many of you readers who email me thanking me for my posts. I know I sometimes get carried away and post quite often, but I just cannot help myself. Allan created a very special place when he came up with the idea of the Digest. We live in a world that is filled with danger, violence, and intolerance. So many of us take life much too seriously and we don't take the time to lighten up and relax. But thanks to Allan we have a place where we can visit each day and for a few moments we can share our love for all that is so wonderful about Mayberry. I received one email yesterday from a friend after seeing my pictures from the Taylor Home Inn. She thought it was so wonderful that I could put on Barney's uniform and act foolish without any embarrassment and she was glad to know that I never grew up. I take that as a real compliment because I truly believe that we all need to maintain some of that childish behavior that enabled us to enjoy all the wonderful make believe things of our childhood. As for me, I don't ever plan to grow up completely, and I can honestly say that at the age of 62 I am still a child at heart. And personally, I wouldn't want it any other way.

thank you my few friends in Mayberry land.
Never say Never like they say. For what its worth, Margeret i werlcomed your question on character actor Jay Novello. i spoke to him by phone in 1974 in California and ill be brutally honest with you. it wasnt so much his several roles on TAGS that he commented on but rather several other roles. The Lost world 1960b a film i saw in the theatre was discussed. he often played foreign roles. his accent was obvious but he was very much in the same vein as a leo j. carrol playing spanish italian and other extractions.To be honest he didnt offer much to say about TAGS. Again the NEWS OF THE DAY comes into factor here. i got his number thru SAG . his accent in real life was so pronounced. But my first thoughts to him was a recent role i saw of him a few months earlier that got my attention. It was in The Brady Bunch as Mr Martinelli the bike shop owner. he had a line that cracked me up. i mimic his accent to illustrate the humor of his line The gears they arent clicking. So many youngesters then in those years remember his bit in that role. Jay had a memorable line with a great double take I wish I could say the same for me regarding his patience with Peter. HE was laughing himself silly when i actually impersonated him on the phone reciting that scene from the episode. The Lost World The Mad Magican and of course I LOVE LUCY in several memorable episodes were still vividly recalled as i went down my list of his credits. Yes I know what youre thinking. Did Jay Novello comment on his experience working in several episodes of TAGS YEs he did saying he enjoyed the experienced but here comes another example of rumors that may substantiate some of our fears for the darling FRances Bavier. He simply said and rather quickly too, that she didnt see to like him because he was Italian. ill let others figure that one out. I could tell by his next line, Did you see me on Love American Style (Popular show in 1973) that he preferred to say no more about TAGSI i left it at that. he was simply a gentleman saying he was an every day actor who showed up played his role ,put in a days work then went home to wait for the next rollcall. Had you never mentioned the name Jay Novello, i would never had mentioned his brief comment on TAGSI had too many other roles to run by him on. He sounded exactly like he did in films and tv roles. His last line to me was Would you like an 8by10 photo of me Tom? I replied yes. then he added Next to me , i dont think theres another italian character actor out there remembered except for Henry Armetta who Jay by the way held in high regard. Henry Armetta died suddenly in 1945. Jay passed away in 1982. im so blessed to have these letters or recorded calls so i can play them back or reread the actual thoughts of these grand character actors. to hear them talk Off the cuff about other prerformers, or films or tv shows is thrilling and it captures a chunk of forgotton Hollywood history unbeknownst to most fans of these actors. In closing some actors are just the opposite as they appear on film. I called Sebastion Cabot the grand actor who played Mr French on Family Affair 1966-71. Regal bearing and dignified in film and television, on the phone he was the prankster a sheer delight . he gave one example of him and Brian Keith having a go at it on the tv set hiding their personal effects from their dressing rooms and watching from afar the other guy running about looking for say his Shoes. He was quite a cut up, even the first time by phone. i guess when they see youre spending all that money 3000 miles away and with it you have a list a mile long of their career credits, they tend to come clean open up and show a different side to their onscreen persona. in closing , again as i try to illustrate, look here, i got Mr FRench telling me privately by phone that he's having a grand time locking Brian Keith in his dressing room just to get his goat. in hindsight, its amazing the thoughtful insights these wonderful actors gave me. They may not had felt they were the Big Names of the Film World being merely character supporting characters., but to me they were BIG STARS and always will be. bless them. Thanks for asking Margeret. Im glad someone appreciates the word im putting out about what these actors had to say in private life. They are my very best friends in the world. THey gave me a small bit of their time but they truly are everything we Mayberry fans envisioned them to be. Bless you all.

and Harry thank you too for acknowledging My Efforts.But Regarding the Autograph
James Flavin, Roy Roberts from TAGS what a dear man too contrary to his tough tv film image.remember he was out to get ANDY,Eddie Foy, my dear friend of 15 yrs legendary radio tv film announcer actor Harry von Zell,Jerry lewis Ann B Davis from BRADY BUNCH.Her and twin sister still living thank god leonid shirley booth, Benny Rubin even latecomer Foster Brooks be it Cagney,Diretrich,Peck,Bergeman,Irene Dunne,Lee J Cobb,Onslow Stevens,Fulton J Sheen Ed Asner, Eve Arden, big or small they were all so dear. id supply the photo ,pay for postage and half the time theyd send me their own 8 by 10 personally autographed after reading my standard 4-6 pag letter where i went in full detail about their career. i think thats what got their attention, the lengh of my letters like my e mails. i get carry away like Jan Clayton said in 1973 but she admitted You sure do love us performers.And so do all of you Mayberry fans. Im no one special and im not saying that to feel good. i didnt do anything anyone couldnt had done. the only difference is i set out to do it i had the time on my side i made the effort. if va man climbs the highest mountain bravvo but folks we can do it do if we apply ourselves to it. And unlike today back in 60s and 70s these character actors were listed right in Whos Who in America address home address and all or simply in the L.A . directory. .Time for me to call it a day. i want others to get onboard and post their thoughts. but Harry thank you and everyone who appreciates character actors the unsung heros of films and tv .without them even the greatest of films could not survive . bless them all. Finallyone of the most beloved character actresses Mary Wicks said it best. in 1979 . Were the backbone of american films but we always get lost in the shuffle.but we can go home and sleep at night knowing we gave every scene the shot in the arm a good doctor can to make it better.

Thank You!
Tom Kessel: I've taken a while to write but I wanted to send you a note to let you know how much I appreciate your posts to this board. I am a disabled physician/attorney with way too much time on my hands who absolutely loves TAGS and this board. Your informative posts about some of the minor characters are so interesting and contain information we would never have gotten from any other source. You must have loved meeting and talking with so many of these folks. Your info makes them more like real people that we feel that we can get to know personally and that is one thing that makes the show's characters so enjoyable. Thanks again for all of your input. This is one TAGS fan who feels that you have a lot to offer to this forum! RMJ _ Got Game?

Thank You Bob Bravetti and Allan Newsome
I have been reading all the post about TvLand and different topics and thought that Allan had corrected that a while back. I was expecting him to post the rules again but glad you said for it to stop. Great job on looking out for the meaning of the mailing list. For the new posters on the mailing list here are the rules as posted by Allan TV Land talk, etc and the WBMUTBB Digest Rules Allan NewsomeSun, 06 Jan 2008 19:02:42 -0800 I feel like with the number of new members we've gotten lately that it's time to restate The Rules for everybody. Everybody might want to read through this just to refresh your memories. I think it's good for all of us to try and remember these tried and true rules. Allan --- Hey Everybody, Boy, things have really been growing here in out little corner of Mayberry!! Because of that I think it's time to remind everyone what WBMUTBB is all about: We all know what Mayberry is about but do we realize why it is that we all visit there everyday? I know that the characters are great but more than that, they're friends. We know these people and it's just a joy to visit them every chance we get to watch them as they work their way through getting locked in a cell because the door clangs shut or any of the other wonderful situations they face. Things always work out in a wonderful way leaving a smile on our faces. Mayberry is an escape from the day-to-day trials we all face. A short trip to a place where every body cares about one another and where we can forget, for a while, the fact that real life isn't as much like that as we'd like. I started WBMUTBB back in 1990, along with several other good folks, and since then I've tried to make it as much like a corner of Mayberry as possible. I wanted this place to be somewhere folks could go and forget about the outside world and relax by reading about Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt Bee, and the rest of our Mayberry family. To try and make that happen I've required everyone who wanted to join to tell us a little about themselves so we could get to know them just a little bit. After all, in Mayberry everyone knew everybody else and how can we have a community without having at least some idea about our neighbors? I've also had a couple of rules here and I try to enforce them. Of course Rule #1 is...you guessed it...Obey all rules. Rule #2 is this: Talk about the things you like about Mayberry..not things you don't like. I know some folks forget this second rule sometimes and they don't really understand WHY I think Rule #2 is important so let me just give you an example. Let's say I were to say, Boy, I really hate Barney. I mean, look how stupid he is and poor Andy has to put up with him.If I said that (and meant it) what are the first things that happen to you? First you'd feel like, Man, that guys a jerk! Then you'd get aggravated at this guy talking about your Favorite character (and friend), Barney Fife. Even if Barney's not your very favorite character, you'd likely be upset about this guy talking about your neighbor. I've never heard anyone say anything like that about Barn but I have about other characters and folks forget that just because they don't like a particular character doesn't mean that character isn't someone elses favorite. You see, if I talk about your favorite character saying negative things about 'em it takes your fun away. I think that's enough about Rule #2 and I hope you all understand the rule. It's not to take away from your fun but to encourage you all to tell us about what's fun to you and share your good feelings with others. We have something special here. It's something you don't find often on the internet. No flames, no fighting, no foul language. We have a place that children and adults can come and enjoy themselves. Mayberry is a wonderful place and I'm just glad to be a part of this little corner of it. Your Friend and neighbor, Allan Newsome Who's Been Messin' Up the Bulletin Board?

Thank You
Thank you for all who confirmed that I did indeed see a Mt. Airy newspaper. I was waiting until I got the official verification before I posted my thanks. It is good to know that I did not imagine that. I just cannot believe that with my watching each TABS episode so many times over the years that I had never noticed that before. Of course in those early days I was not a trained noticer. I wonder how many new things we would notice if TAGS was available in HDTV. Why we would probably be able to tell the difference between Aunt Bee's kerosene cucumbers and store bought cucumbers just by looking at them and even all the tiny hairs that get in Barney's shirt collar that Gomer says makes him irritable.

Thank You
I want to thank everyone for the great emails so many of you sent in response to my request for statements about why you love Mayberry. What a wonderful tribute to that special place that we all love so much. I plan to use your comments as part of my closing remarks so my audience will be left with YOUR THOUGHTS that come right from your hearts. I was part of a large group today that took a three hour charter bus trip to our state capital where we attended an Advocacy Day about health care issues. I met with my state senator and representative and we had a great dialog on improving health care. On the return trip the leader of our group asked if I would speak to our group with the microphone system and tell them a little about what I would be talking about in October. So I gave them a 12 minute impromptu preview of my love for Mayberry. I shared a little about why I love Mayberry, I talked about my three stays at the Taylor Home Inn, and I told them about our wonderful friendships here on the digest. I had a very captive audience and when I finished and returned to my seat, a burst of cheers erupted and a number of people began to whistle the Mayberry theme song. It is always so heartwarming to be able to talk to people about TAGS. We owe Alan so much for providing this wonderful avenue for all of us who truly believe in the spirit of Mayberry. I know at times I may monopolize the Digest, and for this I ask your understanding, but Mayberry is such a special place for me I just can't help myself. I guess it must be a compellsion. Kenneth G.

no coffee, tea or punch thank you
I don't know if this is Texan or Southern, I did mention I'm from Texas didn't I? Anyway, I often heard sodas referred to as cold drinks (but kinda run together like: coledrink) as well as calling every kind of cold drink coke. I noticed some people in Mayberry (for example Asa) who have a distinctly Northern accent. Perhaps others heard him speak of having a bottle of pop and also began referring to it as such. Being a small town, maybe the term spread. That's my theory. Next time you pass through Wylie, drop in for a coledrink or some sweet tea and spicy talk. Kim - Wylie, TX - Do you Yahoo!?

no coffee, tea or punch, thank you
Being from South Carolina, I never could figure out why there was never ice tea (no, that's the way we say it) around. For meals, there was coffee with Opie having milk. If it was hot, there was lemonade. Where was the tea? Had TAGS been sponsored by Lipton, you can bet we would have seen everybody in town drinking tea by the gallon. For it's entire 8-year run, The Show was sponsored by General Foods (makers of Sanka) and that's probably the main reason the folks in Mayberry drank so much coffee. Clara does mention sweet tea and spicy talk in one episode; it's not mentioned whether the ladies enjoyed their tea hot or iced. --Paul ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Dear TAGS Friends, Thank you for your messages about Mr. Knotts' passing. I had not thought of it this way. This will help. I just may get some cashew fudge like Barney and Thelma Lou did while watching. I wonder if there are towns like Mayberry left. I cannot think of any in California.

It is so sad to hear of Don Knotts passing but I appreciate all of the great memories and laughs he gave to me whenever I watched The Andy Griffith Show.
