Father's Day Tribute

[Joe]

Today in our newspaper's weekly TV listings magazine, there was an article
about the 15 most memorable television fathers.
Here's what it said about our favorite TV Dad:

*"Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith, "The Andy Griffith Show") - The
plain-speaking widower's love for son Opie (Ron Howard) was evident in
every breath he took, and every life lesson he taught."*

Well said.

JOE from G.I.

David, I wanted to make sure -- is this Central Time?  That was my assumption, 
since you mentioned the Chicago area, but I thought it prudent to check.  
Thanks!

Tribute to Jim Nabors

[LGillum]

It was a number of years ago when my wife and I met Jim Nabors . . . not 
the usual expected sort of meeting.  Jim was performing at Denver's 
historic theatre in Elitch Gardens and we had arrived to enjoy the show, 
thrilled to be able to see him in person.   We pulled our car into a 
parking space near the theatre.   At that very moment, a small sports 
car convertible, top down, whizzed into the space immediately left of 
our car.  Out jumped a vivacious young man wearing a big smile from ear 
to ear.   It took a moment for our eyes and brains to register the 
reality:  The driver parking next to us was none other than Jim Nabors.  
When we finally accepted that, we expected that he would ignore us and 
rush off to ready himself for the evening's show.   Not so.  Jim gave us 
his classic friendly greeting and stopped momentarily to chat, to ask 
how we were, and to inquire if we had come to see the show.   It was the 
strangest but most wonderful thing, for my wife and I immediately had a 
strong sense that this was someone we had known for a lifetime -- an old 
friend.   Needless to say, this encounter certainly heightened our 
enjoyment of his show later.  We had always appreciated Jim's acting and 
singing abilities, especially in his comic character on TAGS, but now we 
knew closeup that his friendliness and caring manner were genuine traits 
in his personal character.   We have never forgotten that brief moment 
of parking next to a star and near an old friend.   He was such a warm, 
personable, genuinely nice person, and we already miss him.    Rest in 
peace, dear friend Gomer.

Tribute to those passed on

[Johnna Clarke]

Our Blood Brothers fan club meeting is January 8 near Macon, Missouri. It's
our annual Christmas gathering, and we have special music planned by
members Ronnie and Mary Beth, husband and wife duo who play guitar and
upright bass, respectively.  We'll also plan to play "Merry Fishmas"
followed by our gift exchange. Our noon luncheon main dish will be Mrs.
Foster's Chicken a la King (we just hope it doesn't taste like wallpaper
paste). As part of the program, I want to pay tribute to those actors who
have passed away in 2016. I know recently was Malcolm Meriwether and Mr.
Heathcoat. Could someone please post a definitive list? My last resort is
to peruse the old issues of the newsletter. Just hoping to get a list here.

Many thanks in advance.

One of our local churches recently had a Mayberry-themed event.  Even had

Andy tribute

[jlj9675]

I'm happy to report that unlike People magazine, TCM put Andy first in their 
tribute to the losses of 2012 in the entertainment industry. Their 
presentation this year begins with the scene of an abandoned drive-in movie 
theater and thereafter shows Andy before all the others who left us. It is 
certainly befitting to us Mayberrians as that surely was our greatest loss. 
The only aspect I don't like is the very sad music that accompanies this 
airing; it seems to get sadder every year.

Re: Subject: Short Wave Radio:Subject: Andy tribute: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 13, Issue 375

[Dolly]

Chuck; I found the short wave questions interesting because I'm a big short 
wave fan.  They had them back in the 60's, Daddy had one.  I had one in the 
late 70's which had to have an antenna attached outside so they obviously 
took some artistic license with that episode. However now you have me on a 
quest to  find out and to get another shortwave. I found the MiG-25 (with 
battery)was designed in the very early 60's, and first flew in 1964, so if 
that episode was post 64 it might have been real. Now I want another 
shortwave.


Aunt Bea, I agree with you,the music get's sadder every year and perhaps 
part of that is our sadness in seeing it gone.

Andy Tribute at IBMA Award Show

[Jeff Koontz]

My wife is co-producing the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) 
Awards Show at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville TN again this year. 
The show will open with a nice tribute to Andy Griffith featuring Roland White 
(and my Martin D-18 on a rocking chair). I'm sad that I won't be there to see 
it in person but am very proud of her hard work and know it will be a great 
show for bluegrass fans. There will also be tributes to Doug Dillard, Doc 
Watson and the big finale will honor Earl Scruggs with current IBMA Entertainer 
of the year, Steve Martin (yes, that one - comedian, actor, author, art 
collector, etc.) leading 30 banjo pickers!

The show is this coming Thursday night 9/27 at 8pm EST and it will be broadcast 
live on Sirius XM Channel 61 Bluegrass Junction and then edited down for radio 
broadcast the following weeks. Claire isn't sure if the Andy Tribute will make 
the live broadcast since it is being rolled into the opening announcements 
(exits, turn off cell phones, etc.). I trust they'll do the right thing.

As proud as I am for her efforts, I was also proud that she corrected the 
script with Aunt Bee rather than Aunt Bea.

Singing News Tribute to Andy

[Dan Goodwin]

I previously reported Mark Bishop's tribute to Andy in this month's issue of
Singing News but there was a mixup in the details of a couple of episodes he
cited.  I knew Mark, in addition to being a fine Southern Gospel singer, is
also a big TAGS fan and for him to get episodes mixed up like that would not
be like him.  And I was right.  Today, Mark sent me a copy of the article as
written when he submitted it to the Singing News.  Seems the editors chopped
things up a bit causing the errors, it wasn't Mark.

If you don't have access to a copy of the Singing News and would like to
read the article, send me an email and I'll send Mark's unedited copy to
you.  dgood...@charter.net.

Andy Griffith Tribute week-Elizabethtown, Kentucky

[Dannylobrien]

The city of Elizabethtown, Kentucky had a special Andy Griffith Tribute  
Week last week at our restored 1940's art deco theater. One night they  showed 
No Time For Sergents to a fairly full house, then they had 5 great  
episodes of the Andy Gifffith Show one night to another good crowd, then they  
showed Return To Mayberry one night (I enjoyed it much more now than I did 
in  1986), and then finally on Saturday night Karen Knotts was in town to do 
her  Tied Up In Knotts show to an almost packed house! There were folks 
there from  all over! It was a great week for Andy Griffith Show Fans in 
Kentucky. With the  very good response I think the theater and city will try to 
do more in the  future related to the show. They are showing The Ghost and 
Mr. Chicken in  October! Karen Knotts' show was very good, I am a big Don 
Knotts fan and  learned a lot of if trivial trivealities as well as a few 
facts known by few!  The director of the theater is a very big Andy Griffith 
Show fan and  I think she will try to work this into some type of yearly thing 
with the  wonderful response she got on this first attempt. Maybe she needs 
to get in  touch with Alan and David Browningthey could add a lot to the 
 festivities!

Mount Airy tribute to Andy Griffith - September

[bcbow]

Excerpts from Mount Airy News article:
 
Andy tribute not planned until September
by Tom Joyce
Staff Reporter


 
Andy Griffith fans seeking to honor hismemory through an organized public event 
in his hometown will have to waituntil September, according to city and Surry 
Arts Council officials….



Instead of a Mount Airy memorial service or similar event being held inclose 
proximity to the actor’s death, which occurred last week, a tribute to Griffith 
is planned forMayberry Days. This year the annual celebration of characters and 
events of“The Andy Griffith Show” is slated for Sept. 27-30 — more than two 
months away….



Mayor Deborah Cochran added that the September observance might be betterfrom 
the public’s standpoint. “We are confident that we will have a largenumber of 
fans from all over the United States, some from othercountries, and we want to 
give them enough time to make plans to be here.”….



In addition to the salute to Griffith,the upcoming Mayberry Days will include 
two tribute concerts to Doug Dillard onSept. 28. Dillard, known for his role as 
a member of the Darling family on “TheAndy Griffith Show,” had performed here 
during each of the previous 22 years ofMayberry Days until his death on May 
16….

I also wanted to comment on Ben's Heaven's New Sheriff.  It touched me so and 
brought tears to my eyes.  Ben you pretty much summed it up as to how I like to 
think Heaven is, and that maybe someday I, too, can visit Mayberry and all the 
friends we grew up watching.

I don't post much, but the death of Andy has hit me really hard, and it has 
helped tremendously reading everyone's thoughts and memories of Andy and 
Mayberry.

My Tribute to Andy

[Ken Anderson]

I spent some time this past weekend being interviewed by our local
newspaper and one of our TV stations.   I was also on one of the morning
local talk radio shows.  I submitted the following tribute to Andy which
will be printed in our newspaper this week.

For the past two years I have had the pleasure of traveling around west
central Wisconsin driving my 1965 Ford Galaxie replica Mayberry squad car
and dressing as Barney Fife. I have attended many classic car shows and
have participated in parades in many small towns as The Mayberry Guru.

I think it is only fitting that I share a few thoughts about the passing of
Andy Griffith.  In one of The Andy Griffith Show episodes, Deputy Barney
Fife said that Andy Taylor was the best friend Mayberry ever had.  I would
like to expand that thought by saying Andy Taylor was one of the best
friends America ever had.  Portraying Sheriff Andy Taylor, Andy Griffith
showed millions of viewers for five decades what is decent and right about
this great country.  The town of Mayberry and the character Andy Griffith
portrayed may have been fictitious, but the values they represented were
very real then and are very real today.

As I travel around the state in my squad car I get to talk with hundreds of
people and while doing so I have discovered an important truth. Many people
today are yearning to return to a time when life was much slower and
simpler.  They yearn for their children and grandchildren to be able to
grow up in a place like Mayberry where they can enjoy being children and
where they are not forced to grow up too fast.

I have also had the great privilege of giving my Mayberry Presentation to
over fifty groups all over Wisconsin and Minnesota.  People of all ages
share with me their love of the Andy Griffith Show and what an impact Andy
Griffith had on their lives through his portrayal of Sheriff Taylor.

I never had the honor of meeting Andy Griffith.  But if I would have met
him I would have said to him, “Thank you my friend.  Thank you for giving
us more than fifty years of great entertainment.  Thank you for showing us
what life is meant to be like.  Thank you for all the laughs and for all
the tears.”

Just because Andy Griffith is no longer with us, that does mean the end of
Mayberry.  Mayberry will live on in all the hearts that have come to love
that wonderful town and its wonderful people.  And thanks to modern
technology future generations will also be able to enjoy Andy Griffith, a
true icon of the entertainment industry.

Andy Griffith Tribute

[Victor Friskey]

I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said...I called him the 
last of the great TV actors 
on one site and really got beaten down. I guess not everyone feels the way I do 
or my friends here
on WBMUTBB.
That being said I would like to dedicate this offering to The last of the great 
TV actors...

                                             THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW

                                        The writers wrote and the actors spoke
                                    and Andy's Philosophy rang out loud and true
                   Do good my friends unto others, as you would have others do 
unto you
                                        you never know when you speak a word
                                                Just exactly where it will go
                                             it may break a heart of a true 
friend
                                               or rekindle memories of long ago
                                         I thank the writers who wrote from the 
heart
                                             as though they were writing 
classic prose
                                  for as the years slowly fall, we have 
memories to recall
                                                as we watch the Andy Griffith 
Show
                                             you never can tell from an act you 
may do
                                                Just exactly what affect there 
may be
                                         yet there joy we have shared from our 
easy chair
                                                      are the joys we found in 
Mayberry
                                        There are friends we will meet, and 
those we will greet
                                                         as along life's 
highway we go
                                         But no truer friends abound, then in 
that Mayberry town
                                                      as we watch the Andy 
Griffith Show

                         Thank you Andy, sad to see you go, but we have the 
memories to carry us on 

THERE WILL BE A TRIBUTE TO ANDY ON MEtv at 11:30 Central time Wednesday July 4th

Nice Tribute

[Harry Brewbaker]

I was listening to Mike and Mike this morning on ESPN Radio and had no idea 
those two were such big fans of Andy Griffith.  For their first tribute they 
whistled the theme to the show and then later they played the version from the 
early 60's where Andy sang the lyrics to The Fishin Hole.  Mike Greenberg 
then made a comment I found very touching.  He said, Andy Griffith was an 
artist.  It is the goal of most artists to leave a legacy that outlives them.  
99.9% of artist fail to do that.  Andy Griffith has left a legacy that will go 
on long after his passing.  Amen, Mike.  They went on to talk about TAGS never 
being off the air and Greenberg said something I could definately relate to, 
even though I was raised in the south and he was raised in New York City.   If 
you were a kid home sick from school, you watched The Andy Griffith Show 
during the day.   These guys know more than sports.
  
While it is a sad time, there is much to celebrate.  A truly fine and caring 
man who gave so much pleasure and entertainment to so many people.  I was 
talking to a friend yesterday about Andy.  He gave Andy a great compliment.  
I'd put Andy Griffith up there with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, if they were 
in it, I would watch it.
  
This may sound strange, but even though I never met Mr. Griffith, I'm proud to 
say I knew him.

My Tribute to My Mother and My Mother in Law

[Ken Anderson]

My mother once told me that she wished she would have met me before she decided 
to have kids.  I have often wondered what she meant by that.  My mother had a 
great sense of humor.  One time my brothers and I took her shopping in my 
brother's 1954 Pontiac convertible. ( now there was a car).  We had the top 
down on the way home and she complained about her ears getting cold.  We called 
her an old fuddy duddy.  She got even.  She reached into her shopping bag and 
took out a new bra she bought and put it on her head so it would cover her 
ears. It fit perfectly. I never knew my mother had size 36 D ears.  My wife's 
mother was named Gladys, but I always called her Happy Hinder.  Linda has 16 
siblings and it all came about because her mother was hard of hearing.  Her ma 
and pa would go to bed each night and her pa would say, Honey, do you want to 
go to sleep or what?  And her ma would always answer, What?.

A Tribute to TAGS

[Susan Blank]

Every year at the elementary school where I teach music, we celebrate Right to 
Read Week. This year's theme is Dive Into Reading, and I was asked to write a 
song for the kids to sing at our Kickoff Assembly. The first day is fishing 
day, and everyone wears fishing gear.  Well, as soon as I heard about the 
theme, the TAGS theme song popped into my head!  I rewrote the words, and we 
have a song! When I taught it, I was surprised and pleased to find that a LOT 
of the kids recognized the tune, and a lot of them and their parents are fans 
of TAGS!  It really made my day.  Long live TAGS

Mr. Schwump tribute artist

[King of Mayberry]

Harry, I am happy to report that there IS a Mr. Schwump tribute artist. He 
appears every Mayberry Days at the Sat. evening Col. Tim's Talent Time. I've 
heard his toupee is quite bad too. He is not seen in the Mayberry Days parade, 
but I've heard folks do get him mixed up with the Mayberry Days trivia champion 
though. People sure are odd..

Mr. Schwump

I suprised there isn't a Mr. Schwump tribute artist.? He'd never have to talk, 
just smile and nod.? At the Mayberry
Days parade he could ride in a convertable with a Mrs. Wiley or a Nice Dress 
Nellie tribute artist.? I know a man who
doesn't look like Mr. Schwump, but he has a toupee that looks a lot like Mr. 
Schwump's.? Maybe he loan it to someone.

Tribute Artists..more

[GRITTON, JOE A (ATTOPS)]

Just to add to what Sandy and Mike have said, Tim  does have a great
relationship with George Lindsey.  The last time I saw Tim, he talked
about going to George's birthday party.  He reported that George asked
Him How is our career going?  George's heath does not allow him to do
much acting or very few appearances, as I understand.

So, not to beat this to death, but there is no rule written or unwritten
that a tribute artist's character's original actor cannot be alive.  Don
Knott's enjoyed many joint appearances with David Browning before his
death.  Just to add one more tidbit.  While some Tribute Artists could
be basically volunteer, David Browning is a professional actor.  Doing
the Mayberry Deputy (as well as other acting) is his career.

I enjoyed seeing the clip also.   Thanks for sharing that.

[Harriet Browder]

does not seem right to steal a man's character while he is still using it. 

I would think that George Lindsay would take it as a compliment that somone 
thinks so highly of him to impersate the character. But going by your logic, 
David Browning was affronting all laws whilst Mr. Knotts was still 
kickingQuit that David! No more fidgeting, no more finger pointing, no more 
peanut butter and jelly sammiches for you.

Tribute Artists

[Ken Anderson]

Someone mentioned whether or not I got paid when I do my presentations.  I 
usually ask for the very nominal donation of $25 and then I give that to our 
food bank at our church.  I also donate 100% of the price of my books to our 
food pantry too.  We serve between 300-400 families every week.  Many times 
I present for free if the groups do not have funds.  Just to clarify too 
that I do not consider myself to be a tribute artist in any shape or form. 
I always begin my talks by saying that I am in no way pretending to be 
Barney Fife nor will I try to act like him.  I simply wear the uniform as a 
way to make my presentations a bit more interesting and to pay tribute to 
Don Knotts for the fine actor that he was.  I have the highest regard and 
respect for all those Mayberry tribute artists out there.  What a remarkable 
job they do keeping Mayberry alive and well for all of us.  I enjoyed that 
news clip the other day so much.  Having never met any of the artists in the 
flesh it is always great to be able to see clips of them.


Thank you to all of you who emailed me regarding my talk that I am going to 
give at my school reunion.  So many of you mentioned that Guy Doud has 
influenced you as well.

MAYBERRY TRIBUTE

[DAVID QUINN]

I was watching the video posted on this site about the people doing the 
Mayberry tribute today.  One part of the tribute bothered me.  I have no 
problem with people impersonating our friends that have passed on, Otis, 
Barney, Howard, but it made me uneasy to see someone impersonating Goober when 
Goober is very much alive, and as far as I know is trying to make a living by 
acting.  I am not smart enough to know if that is legal, but it just does not 
seem right to steal a man's character while he is still using it.

to steal my character. You know, the chicken coop casanova thing.

The Untrained Voice/Joe Gritton/Tribute Writer Par-Excellant

[david browning]

Joe Gritton has so much feeling for Mayberry and it's message in our lives.  I 
was so proud to perform the piece that he wrote.  I first did it in 2000 at my 
home church and then last Saturday night in Berea SC at Berea First Baptist 
Church with their Minister Ronald Vaughan.  What a thrill it is to take 
someone's idea and words and make them come to life.  Joe, you are a prince and 
I am so grateful to have you as a friend and ghost writer.  Also, my new 
friends Tom and Kathy Rusk couldn't have been nicer and some of the photo's 
from the show are priceless.  So, thanks to all who make my life rich with 
words of kindness and friendship that lifts me and the audiences that I am 
blessed to perform in front of.

Michael Z. had an interesting idea - Tribute Artists for characters never 
seen on camera.  I can see heading off to the ball game to see our beloved

Sounds like a career opportunity for someone.

Don Knotts Tribute

[Ken Anderson]

Because I will not have my computer available early next week, I decided to 
post this tribute to Don Knotts a bit early


   It will be exactly one year ago next Monday that the entertainment 
industry and fans of comedy everywhere lost one of its all time great 
artists. Over the years many new comedians have come onto the scene in 
Hollywood, but one thing remains certain. Don Knotts has to take a back seat 
to no one when it comes to true talent and class.



Comedy has undergone tremendous changes over the years, but because of Don 
Knott's portrayal of Barney Fife, some of the greatest comedy of all times 
has been preserved forever.  Without ever using a four letter word, a sexual 
innuendo or an off color joke, Don Knotts was able to bring laughter into 
the homes of millions of people around the world. And the wonderful thing is 
that after more than 47 years since he first appeared as Deputy Sheriff 
Barney Fife, he continues to bring that same laughter in homes everywhere. 
Families continue to gather in livings rooms across our great land to spend 
special times with Barney Fife and all his friends in Mayberry. Fan clubs 
have emerged everywhere, websites are dedicated to his memory, and people 
gather in churches to study their bibles through the laughter of Don Knotts. 
I challenge anyone to name one other comedian that has attained that status. 
Don Knotts was more than a comedian.  He was an outstanding actor and even 
more importantly, he was a gentleman and a role model for everyone who ever 
saw him.



It doesn't take talent to stand up in front of people and tell tasteless 
jokes. It doesn't take talent to stand up in front of people to belittle 
others or poke fun of our nation's president or religious leaders.  It does 
take talent to portray characters such as Barney Fife, Jesse W. Heywood, 
Royal Fleming, Hollis Figg, Luther Heggs, and countless others.



I will always be thankful for having experienced the talent of Don Knotts. 
He has brought to my life so many moments of pure joy and laughter.  He has 
transformed some very difficult times in my life into moments where I could 
forget my problems and pain.  Don Knotts emulates what a true artist should 
be.  Many so called comedians in today's entertainment industry do not 
deserve to be called artists. They may get laughs when they perform, but 
that is one of the key differences between them and Don Knotts.  While they 
simply perform, Don Knotts became the characters that he portrayed, and he 
did it with dignity, professionalism, and class, Don Knotts has no equal, 
and I doubt that he ever will.

lecture tribute to Don Knotts

[Kathy Hinkley]

Hello fellow Mayberrians,

Wanted to say we had a good time at Mayberry Days.

However, we missed the tribute to Don Knotts.  We thought

There'd be one in the Colonel Tim's show like they had last year

For Howard Morris.  Needless to say, we went to Colonel Tim's in the
afternoon,

And found out the tribute was in the cinema at the same time.  

So, we'd like to know if by any chance anyone taped the lecture and would be
willing to 

Let us pay for a copy?  We were hoping to get the tribute on tape ourselves
as we were 

The only ones able to attend from our club this year.  If anyone could do so
please let me know!!

Sure would appreciate it!!

Kathy from the Dollar and a Quarter Club in New Philadelphia, Ohio

If your newspaper doesn't carry the comic strip
Tuttle's, Friday's cartoon made reference to our

morning) or at
http://burtcottage.dailyread.com/Sams_Place/tutep1151.1160.html
(it'll be the bottom cartoon on the page and so may
take a moment to come up).

If you'd like info about getting Tuttle's in your
local newspaper, write to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Best of Luck to You and Yours,

TRIBUTE TO ANDY GRIFFITH

[Karla Nurnberg]

Hi,
 I cannot say that I grew up watching TAGS, because I graduated from High 
School in 1964. However, I enjoyed watching reruns of it, while I attended 
college, because one of my roommates had a TV. Some of us wish for the good ole 
times to return. On a visit to my husband's brother and family in Georgia we 
visited a little country store, which I just loved and there was a Goober's 
Peas stand across the street, so this former Idahoan got to taste them for the 
first time. Now that we live in the south I am looking forward to more Mayberry 
type experiences.
 In 1988 I contracted Guillian Barre Syndrome and spent 35 days in a 
University Medical Center. My five young children were taken care of by my two 
sisters, so that my husband did not have to worry about them. My oldest sister 
sent me a Reader's Digest Article about Andy Griffith's struggle with this same 
illness. What an inspiration to me that he had fought it and he had not become 
paralized from it. When I got discouraged about whether I would ever get 
better, I had his example to remember, so I fought. My dear aunt sent me a card 
to remind me that I was a fighter, too. Thank heavens for people like Andy and 
my aunt..
  Thank you Mr. Andy Griffith for sharing your talents with us the American 
Public. Your TAGS shows can be shared with our children and grandchildren over 
and over again without any smutty lines to have to explain or to embarrass us. 
Another thing that we enjoy about TAGS is when Andy picks up his guitar and 
shares that talent with us. 
  One of my favorites is when he sang DOWN IN THE VALLEY. 
  Mr. Griffith thank you for the Mattlock series also. Some of us enjoy a 
good Whodunit. When I was a youngun, I mispronouned that word, as Whod unit. I 
must have some of Jeff Foxworthy's ancestors on my line.
   God Bless You Mr. Griffith for loving our Barney to the end. Good 
Friends are priceless. They are the riches that we all need to seek after. 
Also, it is rewarding to be a good friend.
  A loyal TAGS Fan,
  Karla

Ron and Rance Howard / Tribute to Andy

[Cynthia Mahoney]

The older Ron Howard gets, the more he looks like his father, especially in 
the eyes.

I have always thought that Ron Howard looked a lot like his dad, even when he 
was a little guy.  However, I do agree that the older he gets, the more he 
looks and sounds like Rance.  He probably always looked like Rance did at the 
same age, but we didn't notice it until Ron was an adult since we don't know 
what Rance looked like as a child.  I remember seeing an episode of Happy Days 
a few years ago and Rance Howard played a character in it.  When I looked at 
middle aged Rance in that episode, he looked so much like Ron does now.  



I am in full agreement with the idea that we should create some sort of tribute 
to Andy Griffith while he is still with us.  Although I believe that he already 
knows how much he is appreciated for his talent and hard work, it would be so 
much better for us to let him know it while he is still able to enjoy it.  One 
single word of praise said to a living person is worth more than 1000 words of 
praise after the person has passed on.

Oscar In Memoriam tribute

[Dawn]

Anthony, you beat me to it. I watched the Oscars last night, in particular
hoping to see a nice tribute to Barn' during the annual In Memoriam
montage.  I was so surprised that he wasn't featured (nor Dennis Weaver nor
Darren McGavin).  My guess is that they put together those montages a week
or two in advance and move onto the next to do item on their big list.  I
expect we'll see a tribute to all 3 actors at next year's Academy Awards.
It will seem like very old news by then, but won't it be nice to have a warm
reminder of Don in March 2007.

 Did I miss it? During the Academy Awards program I watched all the names of
 the fine talents that left us this past year, and I didn't see Dennis
 Weaver, Darren McGavin or Don Knotts.
 I believe they all had worked in Hollywood before, and had been in motion
 pictures.
 I know it's a club, and what kind of club would it be if they let everybody
 in?
 It's the kind of club that if they do this to Don Knotts, I don't want
 anything to do with it.

Tribute to Andy

[Lori Heine]

I agree that some sort of a tribute to Andy would be great -- and (unlike the 
ones for Don Knotts) before it's too late for him to know about it.
   
  Let's by all means develop this idea, 'cause it's a good one.

Tribute to Our Favorite Deputy

[m white]

TAGS fans,

I ran across a great tribute to our favorite deputy
(and a couple other fine actors) at Jewish World
Review.  You can read it at

Barney tribute

[Kim]

Someone suggested having the tribute to Barney on his birthday in July.  To 
quote our favorite deputy I think that's a peach of an idea.  I also agree 
that Barney will remain with us, even though I liked the obit.  You know how 
they write up obituaries for prominent people ahead of time, lets just think of 
it as that.
   
  I also like the idea of letting Andy Griffith, and other cast members, know 
how much they mean to us.

[ctygrl821]

To my fellow Mayberrians,

  The schedule for this weekend's Tribute to Don Knotts on TVLand is 
available on their website TVLand.com.
  Seems they will be showing TAGS episodes, then some Three's Company, 
then finishing the tribute late (into overnight) Sunday-Monday with 
more TAGS.
  Sure am missing 'ole Barn, but I know he's up in heaven with my 
precious Dad making even the angels laugh and smile

  Did anyone tape the Larry King Show Wednesday night? I missed that 
one, and would LOVE to get a copy of it!

  Please email me if you can..sure hate I missed seeing Andy Griffith 
and Don Knott's daughter.

 Thanks so much.

  I'm known around these parts as a very reliable person... You 
betcha, Barn!

Barney tribute

[JOHN Phillips]

I think it would be good for all of us to do like the lady said a little while 
ago.  Lets pick a day and time and everyone pull out an invisible bullet from 
our shirt pocket(if you dont have a shirt pocket at the time pretend) and put 
it in our invisible gun and give ol barney a salute to Heaven thanking him for 
the memories...Goodbye Don. john

Barney tribute

[Kim]

Maybe as a tribute to Barney Fife, at a certain time on a certain day we can 
all pull an imaginary bullet from our pockets and load our imaginary pistols 
and give him a gun salute.

Corrected Barney Tribute

[GRITTON, JOE A (SBC-OPS)]

Hey I've gotten a couple nice notes about my last post, and I really
feed bad that I had a couple typo's in it, so I wanted to send again
with corrections.   Thanks again Bill of the Desert for the idea. 


Thanks for the Memories 
A Deputy named Fife, Thelma Lou his future wife, it doesn't matter that
he caught just a few crooks in his life...We'll miss him so much

Another hapless Jailbreak... A confident smirk and shake...  another
messed up fishing trip for Andy at the lake We'll miss our Bar-ney

It seems he's doomed to fail, nothin' but good guys locked in  jail, but
somehow his pal Andy will get him a commendation in the mail...That's
our De--puty  Fife

His deputy recruits are a joke, everyone knows he'll go for broke, he'll
make a federal case out of a harmless little poke, but that's just...
Bar-ney

Thank God we've got TV, VHS and DVD, for years to come--generations
won't be glum...cause we'll laugh and love  our Bar--ney!!

He's really a live wire,  Many-a-shot he will misfire,  but in the end,
our singing friend is finally in the Heavenly Choir...We will miss
him so much.

Barney Fife more tribute

[GRITTON, JOE A (SBC-OPS)]

During our lifetime we travel many roads. Some big roads, some little
roads, rocky roads and smooth roads, dirt highways and improved
highways. - Barney Fife

Barney, this is a rocky road for your admirers.

I want to give a word of encouragement also to Betty Lynn.  She is kind
of the social secretary that keeps all the remaining cast members
connected.  She too has lost a great friend.

Thanks to Sam from Knoxville and others who supplied to word to  the
Vacant Chair.  It seems so appropriate right now.

Here ya go Bill (Bob Hope Song)

A Tribute to Mayberry

[Ken Anderson]

  A Tribute to Mayberry



Music and laughter throughout the land

Andy's guitar and that sad town band.

Young or old and both girl and boy

Bringing to us many moments of  joy.

Each week there were new people to meet

Roaming and walking every Mayberry Street.

Ridiculous Barney at work or play

Yesterday's memories are here to stay.
