RE: Wearing the full uniform

One episode where Andy wears the complete uniform is when Malcolm Merriweather (spelling?) was taking care of him and Opie, and insisted he do so! I love the part where Malcolm opens the car door for Andy, and then unfolds a blanket on Andy's lap, to Andy's obvious chagrin!!! Richard Sargent

Book Titles

Dolly The title of this particular book is Murder Shoots the Bull by Anne George. It's a book in series of books called the Southern Sisters Mysteries. Paul, I don't know if these are the books you are referring to, but, there is a lady named Donna Andrews who writes mysteries set in N.

mystery books

Paul, Like you I have read the 'Cat Who' books and loved them. Another series you must read is the Liturgical mystery series by Mark Schweitzer. The first book is 'The Alto Wore Tweed'. These books are set in a small NC town and the Author lives in Tryon, NC. They are a laugh-out-loud mystery

Bernard Fox and another alumni sighting

Our Malcolm has been appearing often on the Dick VanDyke Show lately; also Don Rickles. Early this morning our own school principal, the gentlemen who announced the essay contest on the history of Mayberry, was in a film with Clark Gable and Loretta Young! Wow!!! Aunt Bee of Orlando

Jim Nabors

I know I can't be the only person who read in today's newspaper that Jim Nabors recently flew to Seattle Washington and got married. Out of respect for all the laughs and great times Gomer has given to all his Mayberry fans, that is all I am going to say about that. Congratulations Jim,

Andy in Full U-Knee-Form

I can recall these times Andy being in full uniform - meaning he was wearing a tie and in one instance a cap. There may be others, but these are the only ones I can recall off hand. He wore his tie and cap when Malcolm helped him get dressed one morning. He wore a tie when he went to the meeting

Lack of lyrics

When Opie joins Clifford's band,they are heard just playing instrumental,no singing.At a school dance,no singing, just instrumental.Andy Barney's high school reunion,no singing,just instrumental. I've heard RodneyDillard say that as a Darling,they would have had to have been paid extra had
