I think it's referring to Sheriff Poindexter who was sheriff prior to Andy
being elected.

Subject: crimes in Mayberry
I was watching the episode where Luke Comstock comes back
to settle the score with Andy, and realized that there was a major
crime commited in Mayberry. Luke held up the Service Station
(Barney said Service not Fillin Station) and Andy shot him in the leg.
And I believe they said it happened in 1952.
But since then, seems like alls been quiet on the homefront.
as to the citizens arrest theory. North Carolina does not have this law now
but they may have had it back then. Some states do have this law.
I'm planing on attending the Mayberry day in Mt. Airy this year
by means of my hopefully finished by then 1963 Ford Galaxie
"Mayberry Patrol Car". If any one knows of a good Mayberry hotel
to stay in please email me with some info. I'll be pretty tired by the end
that long
journey from Charlotte (nearly 2 hours away) and would be willing to sleep
on the ironing board between two chairs.
On another note, If anyone is interested, I can be seen in the new movie
"Freedom Song" on TNT Sunday night 2-27-00 at 7pm est. I play a Deputy
Sheriff in one scene. (yes I did my best Barney for the town folk) . I pull
the only white marcher out to arrest him when the black folks are marching
on city hall. I'm also up in the U.S. Marshals face in civilian clothes in
the angry white crowd when the freedom riders get off the bus in 1961, then
I do some rable rousing as the freedom riders look out of the white only
section of the diner.
Sorry for the long windedness, but like Johnny Coons they never let me
speak.

There is an episode where Andy refers to a former Mayberry Sheriff by the
name of Poindexter. I believe the episode is "The Punch in the Nose".
Someone else may be able to confirm or correct that.

blow. Grab your nose and give two winks and save us from this awful jinx."
Lotsa luck to you an' yours!

Subject: Trivia answer
Well, we know that Andy smoked in several episodes, but my question
asked about an episode where he was seen with a cigarette on TWO
separate occasions. The episode I had in mind was "Opie's Rival".
Andy was smoking at the beginning when he was talking with Opie, and
then again near the end when he was waiting to meet Peggy for a date.

Can someone give us the website address for that newspaper article about
the Mayberry of the Midwest? I lost it and want to read it before I send
my letter to J.P. Cooprider. Thanks in advance. Aunt Bee of Orlando

Subject: Pavlov's Dogs
I don't have any birds that whistle the TAGS theme song, but one, long,
beautiful summer when TAGS was on every weeknight starting at 6:00, I used
to watch it "religiously". As soon as the theme song came on at the end of
the show my dogs would get down from the sofa (bad dogs) and start
wiggling their bottoms and salivating. They knew I was just about to get
up and make them their doggie dinner (just as soon as "Andy" was over, and
not a minute before). They came to equate that song with their tummies
growling. Just for fun, I would whistle the song "out of context" when it
was no where near dinner time just to get their reaction. They would prick
up their ears, cock their heads and start to wiggle. Funny...when I hear
the TAGS theme song, I do the same thing!

Subject: Mystery Solved
For years, I have been spotting and reporting what I thought was a studio
that could be seen from certain camera angles when shooting between Andy's
garage and the house next door.
Now, thanks to the wide shot of the 40 Acres Lot you can see on
Angelfire.com, we finally can clearly see that these aren't studios at all,
but are large warehouses across the street from 40 Acres.

Subject: Satellite Dish
Our family recently got a Dish500 system, too. We positively
LOVE it! I don't have an affiliation with them either; I'm like the
others who've written-just really, really pleased with the change in
service from cable to satellite. The TAGS episodes on TVLand are crystal
clear! Tons more channels, less money. Win, win. I hate hearing the
stories about all the folks who can't watch TAGS anymore...I'm glad we
made the change.

We've voted for our favorite episode and for our favorite one-spot
character, so how about our favorite "minor" character? Not counting Andy,
Barney, Opie or Aunt Bee, who do you love most in Mayberry? And, to make it
completely fair, and tougher, the colored episodes are included. So, if
Warren is you all-time favorite, by all means vote for him and tell us why.
Do you love Helen, Thel, Miss Clara, Charlene, Ellie, Peggy? How about
Ernest T. or Briscoe Darling?
Or is Otis your man? Doesn't everybody love Floyd? Can you imagine
Mayberry without Gomer or Goober? Well, I can't. Do you love Emmett?
I have mine all ready selected, but I ain't gonna reveal it just yet.
It was a tough decision, you bet. There can't really be a "favorite."
Just a pretty close to favorite.

homework and working harder, you ain't gonna do nothin' but work in
a dime store the rest of your life!"

Subject: epilogue
I've checked the epilogues, and it wasn't there, so can someone give
me the ending to the episode "Mr. Darling Declares for Aunt Bee." You
know, the one where she nearly beats him to death with a spoon? For
some reason, that one holds a fondness to my heart.
How it all began:
Dime store, winter 1964: Barney rushes in looking all flushed and
excited--"Gee, Barney, you're looking kinda strange. Is something wrong.
Want to tell me about it?
"Of course I can keep a secret. What do you think I am, some kind of
blabber-mouth?" Laura Lee Hobbs

At the risk of too much build up, just another few words of intro.
So as not to take up to much space on the Digest, I was asked to send
only this first scene...and then the entire story will be posted on
the TAGSRWC website. I think this one will tickle your funny bone, and
perhaps your heartstrings so check it out when you get a chance. Allan
will let us know when its ready at:

[The plans are for Andy, Barney, and Opie to go fishing together on a
Saturday morning. Opie bounces out of bed before dawn with excitement
for the day ahead. Andy is packing up his tackle box in the kitchen as
Aunt Bee roams around the kitchen half-awake, and still in her robe,
packing the usual picnic basket full of lunch and goodies.
Opie pops into the kitchen as Andy pours a cup of coffee and Aunt
Bee is searching for some napkins to put in the basket.]
Aunt Bee: (to herself) Now where are those napkins? I just had them!
Opie: I'm ready Paw! You Ready? Let's go get Barney and get out there
while its still dark.
Andy: Well, aren't you gonna eat any breakfast there boy, you cain't
fish on an empty stomach.
Opie: Oh, I just figured I'd grab a glass of juice and eat a Mr. Cookie
bar on the way. Aunt Bee usually packs 'em so Barney can have
one when his stomach clock goes off. Did you pack them Aunt Bee?
Aunt Bee: Oh for goodness sake, one thing at a time. Andy could you
look in the basket for me? I just don't know where...
Andy: Yep, right-chere are the Mr. Cookie bars, they are under the
NAPKINS here in the basket.
Aunt Bee: Well good, then I only have to find the...what did you say?
Andy: The napkins are right here Aunt Bee. You're so efficient you
even outsmarted yourself this time.
Aunt Bee: Oh Fibblegizzit, I'm not awake yet. Just take your stuff and
go on, now Opie don't spill that juice in the squad car, and
Andy make sure Barney eats something early so he doesn't get
a headache.
Andy: (reaches over to give Aunt Bee a hug) Good Bye Aunt Bee.
You go back to bed and have a nice rest, ya' hear.
Opie: (already outside) C'mon Paw, Barney's probably waitin' G'bye Aunt
Bee. Love Ya, Have a nice day..
[Andy stops the squad car in front of Mrs. Mendlebright's rooming house.
Barney is not out front as expected, so Andy gives a tap on the horn.
Still no Barney...but Andy sees a hand motioning to him from inside a
window. Andy goes to the door and Mrs. Mendlebright is standing in her
house coat with her hair up in curlers]
Mrs. Mendlebright: Sheriff come quick, Barney's stuck!
Andy: He's what! Stuck where?
Mrs. Mendlebright: You come look, he won't let me in.
[She leads Andy to a narrow door to the bathroom. Andy knocks on the
door.]
Andy: Barney, You alright? Its Andy. (a sound can be heard from inside)
[Andy opens the door just a bit and slips through the opening.
He struggles to contain himself, as a helpless Barney standing on his
knees strains to get his hand dislodged from the commode. He is in his
pajamas with large polka dots. His hair in standing straight up, either
from a rough night's sleep, or the struggle involving his mishap. His
face is half-covered with shaving cream.]
Barney: I know this looks bad Andy, please don't tell anyone what
happened, I would just die if anyone else found out.
[Just then Opie sticks his head in.]
Opie: Mrs. Mendlebright says Gomer's on his way with a monkey wrench.
Boy, what happened Paw? Did Barney fall in?
Barney: No I didn't FALL IN!. This is just great, the kid knows,
soon Gomer will know, then that blabbermouth Laura Lee Hobbs will
know and then everyone in town will be sayin' (sarcastic tone)
Barney Fife was playin' in the bathroom bowl and got stuck.
Andy: But Barney, we don't know anything to tell, you didn't tell us
what happened. (smiling) Couldn't you wait 'til we got to the
lake to uh.. go fishin?
.......to be continued as noted above

himself!!!
