Saw Malcombe Merriwether this morning as a hotel clerk in a Robert Goulet movie named Honeymoon Hotel. So, apparently, Malcombe did have some marketable skills when he came through Mayberry, over and above Falconer, but I guess Jason wasn't about to give up his job at the hotel. dan

Word of the Day

TAGS fans,   My word of the day from Merriam Webster today was nugatory\NOO-guh-tor-ee\adjective\of little or no consequence : trifling, inconsequential.  All I could think of when I read it was the great Indian Chief from the Mayberry Centennial Pageant Nugatuck.  So, would we say Nugatuck

Malcombe Merriweather

I have seen Malcombe in another movie with Don Knotts and Tim Conway called Spies . It is a very funny movie and one of my favorite ones with Don and Tim in it. I always wondered what part Tim Conway could have played as he tried to fit into Mayberry? Steve aka Ol' Sam

Familiar faces crop up

Hi Fellow Mayberrians, Recently, I purchased the first season of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. and was happily amazed to see how many Maryberrians had traveled all the way to Camp Henderson, CA. I noticed Asa played a 'listening ear' to Gomer's love letter writing escapades and E.T.B's Romina had

Re: Calvin Coolidge

Well, Thel, it sounds like Mr. Schwump had presidential qualities! Makes you kinda want to put on your bucket and think about President Schwump. Paul in Jane Lew, WV Paul, ol' Cal said more than most people think. He may not have talked a lot, but when he did, it was worth hearing. The

RE: Calvin Coolidge

Paul, ol' Cal said more than most people think. He may not have talked a lot, but when he did, it was worth hearing. The quotes of his I have read reveal a man of intelligence and practical wisdom. --- One of my all-time favorite quotes comes from Silent Cal: Nothing in the

Janet came up with the correct answer. In the 1948 movie Sitting Pretty our very own Thelma Lou played a 16 year old girl who was a babysitter. When she had the party, she and her boyfriend were dancing exactly the way Gomer and Mary Grace were dancing. Maybe Thelma Lou taught Gomer

Deleted from site?

I had my account deleted, apparently, and haven't been getting the Digest at this email. I have been getting it sent to my Hotmail account, but it ends up in my Junk folder. Paul Gilkes ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Chief Nugatat's Son

I am thinking that years ago many Indians named their offspring after animals. Therefor I have deduced that after a lot of begatten Chief Nugatat named his first born son Chicken Nugget. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com

I gave it a good think under my bucket and believe it was Betty Lynn (our own Thel) who played Clifton Webb's daughter in Cheaper By the Dozen (an oldie but goodie). And as a double Mayberry connection, the movie co-starred Myrna Loy, whose picture was found in Wayne Deveraux's suit to be cleaned

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 13, Issue 70

i know what Calvin Coolidge said. He said, 'I do not choose to run.' I knew they wouldn't have made him president if he hadn't said something. -- Floyd, former town councilman, who helped reveal the hot water line snafu. Somebody tried to cover up. ___

Johnna's Question about The Gay Deceiver

I may have solved this mystery. The boys down at the garage said that when anyone new comes to town looking for someone all they have to do is ask...Sarah, that is. Maybe she picked up any phone to ask where Floyd was. Andy and Floyd knowing that this would happen told Sarah that all calls
