Bird in This World
I have heard this saying (You are a bird in this world) here in NC. I grew up in Greensboro, one hour from Mt. Airy. Many of the comments and sounds Andy makes are very familiar to me. I'm sure he incorporated many things he heard growing up. It was just a part of him I imagine. I think the Bird in this world comment about Barney means You are really something hard to believe! The golly and the Well I'll be dogged and many others are also things I grew up hearing. When I hear Andy say them it reminds me of my own Dad, so that is something special about the show to me.

Just got word of Emmett Forrest's passing. What an ace of a guy! So very nice to everyone he met, and believe me, he met thousands!! Andy and Emmett are once again reliving their childhoods and worshipping the God who gave them both such great talents!! We met him many years ago at Mayberry Days and every year made it a; point to look him up and speak to him. A great gentleman, a great friend to us all, and a great example of the Mayberry Spirit! Rest in Peace, my old friend! Welford the Camera Nut...in sadness. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Ed Sawyer
I recently saw Ed Sawyer on a rerun of On Golden Pond. If I remember right, he became a mailman? Aunt Bee of Orlando ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
KEN'S JOKES
Sure looks like Ken is getting a lot of play from the folks on the Bulletin Board these days. Rightfully so, I must say!! He cracks me up constantly when he makes his posts. Very funny manI think he was right though when he said he might have a little too much time on his hands...just kidding Ken, you're a Prince of a fellow, and a BIG part of what makes this site such an enjoyable experience. Hats off to you! Bob Castrucci (tied with Anita as Cincinnati's biggest TAGS fan) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Final Report on Mayberry Visitors
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/
