Joe, that's Norman Leavitt, who is best known as Wally in "Barney Gets His Man" and "Man in a Hurry". He played a couple of other characters at different times as well.

I don't guess you can count this as "DRIVING". But, Otis was riding a cow while drunk.. Can you have a RUI-- Riding Under the Influence.. Just a thought. And Laura Lee... If all else fails just get up from the table and throw you napkin down and say, " I ain't about the stabbed to death with no fork"....

And other Stars with no mayberry conections? I'll be honest and say I don't like it #1. Changing the Name 2. the military part C.

I thought I'd mention these few tidbits to ponder. Whether you'd count it "successful" or not, looks to me like Ernest T. "bridenapped" Barney in the "Mountain Wedding" episode, and definitely planned (conspired) to kidnap the bride as per his implication on the message on the rock he heaved through the Darlings' window. Of course, he conspired to desert from the armed forces, but since he was turned down, that was a moot point. They got to take you before you can desert. It also looks to me like the Darlings kidnapped Aunt Bee.... of course, it resulted in Briscoe being assaulted with a spoon. There were a couple (at least) of cases of domestic violence (Got chickens to throw, got chickens to sell, and the "leg-o-lamb" incident with Otis). Although it happened looong before Andy became sheriff, apparently there was also one humdinger of an arson case there once. Of course, there was no listing of the most hideous crime, one so bad that it is not given in most state and national crime reports, and that I am hesitant to even write .... "Chronic Jaywalking". Mayberry had more than its share of that one.

Larry McPeak, of the VW Boys, has contracted a disease that has all but totally destroyed his liver. He is despartely trying to raise money to be put on a transplant list. He needs $35,000 for the transplant. I think this is the same condition that Jim Nabors had, and BEAT, a few years back. Please keep Larry in your thoughts and prayers. Through God ALL things are possible. If you would like to send Larry a card or note, I know he would cherish it. He is a very, very special person. You can send them to: Larry McPeak 1180 Sunset Street Wytheville, VA 24382 Thanks for listenin' Gary ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2000 17:32:07 -0600 From: Scott Huffmon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: more crime in Mayberry >Now I believe that there has been at least one auto theft.

I don't mean all those unreported assaults in "The Case of the Punch in the Nose" (#152), but how 'bout the reported wife-beating in "Barney's Replacement" (#33) Don't get me wrong...I'd take "Mayberry...gateway to danger!" over any real city I know of any day!

WE are having a mayberry wedding this Valentine's day. All TAGS lovers are invited to come. Amy and I want to welcome you to our blessed day. Hope to see you there... if you're in the Tennessee area look us up. Charlie =) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 21:27:24 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Frances Bavier story A recent posting on the Miss Crump on-line board questioned Frances Bavier's popularity on the set. While I thought the question was out-of-perspective (not the questioner's fault; the fault of his information), it did remind me of a funny story about Frances that I forgot years ago: In the late 1970s, while attending James Madison University, I met and spoke with Richard Crenna at a fine arts symposium. At the time, he was starring in a sitcom with Bernadette Peters and Jack Dodson ("All's Fair"). I asked him if he and Jack ever talked about their TAGS experiences (Crenna directed several 4th season episodes including "Opie the Birdman" and "The Sermon for Today"). He related a story that Jack told him. Mr. Dodson didn't have a foul mouth, but he wasn't above peppering his language at times. While filming an episode of "RFD" ("The Race Horse"), during a filming break with the cast sitting in bleachers, Jack let a few choice words slip out. The next thing he knew, Frances' umbrella came down onto his head. BUT, Crenna said that Jack couldn't tell the story without laughing, and he said that Jack had a great affection for her! Crenna himself said that she was a ladylike pleasure to direct. Just thought you'd enjoy sharing the story... ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #45 **************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
