Call information for Los Angeles, or check one of the numerous directories on the web. Don Knotts makes several personal appearances each year (see Floyd's Barbershop Bulletin Board in The Bullet). If you can't make it to any of those listed, and if you don't mind waiting a few months, try writing to him in care of The New Theatre in Overland Park, KS. He'll be there next year from February 8th through April 15th. If you write to him during those dates, he should get your letter. He can't possibly answer every letter he receives, but who knows, he MIGHT write back. --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 21:11:00 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #146 As usual, I enjoyed this issue of the Digest. Thanks, D.D. (L.L.H.) for your comments about Briscoe. He really was great! And I like repetitiveness. This can be attested to by anyone who knows me and my love of "TAGS" reruns. I am glad to know that someone else appreciates the humor of the Darlings. In my years of devotion to the show, I haven't seen enough fans of this hilarious mountain family to suit me. It could be the bluegrass they play, but I think it's moreso that some folks don't quite understand the language and ways of true hill people, so they miss the humor. Also, I'd like to correct my quote to read correctly. I'm sure many of you caught my blunder but were too nice to correct me. It should have read,"I can take some manners, and I can take some cleanin' up, and I can take a bossy mouth, but I ain't about to be beat to death with no spoon! But, obviously I conveyed the idea! Love to all you fans out there! Let's keep on keeping "TAGS" alive!!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 21:59:43 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #146 I saw an interview about a month ago. Andy and Don said Frances Bavier was likeable, she was just aloof. But before she died, she called Andy one night and apologized for her behavior. She told him she just wanted to tell him and ask for forgiveness. Andy told her that was no problem. She died days later. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 22:29:55 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Andy And Aunt Bee...Andy And Francis Bavier In a message dated 5/15/00 6:50:07 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << < I loved the inter-actions between Andy and Aunt Bea,and I was really upset to hear that in "real life" (But Mayberry is real, isn't it?), Aunt Bea didn't like Andy. >> It's so disheartening to hear things like this...and even worse to hear that it really isn't an uncommon thing to happen in the business. >> Hey To All! It was a unsettling to hear that Francis Bavier had a "love/hate relationship" (quoted from the TVLand special) with Andy. I wouldn't have been able to tell it between the characters until I heard it from Andy's own voice on the special....guess that can be accredited to the good professionalism of the actors/actresses! I was very pleased when further into the special Andy stated that Francis called him during her illness to make amends for their ruffled relationship and the two were able to make peace before Ms. Bavier passed away. As for hearing of the Penney Marshall/Cindy Williams and the Bea Arthur/Betty White relationships..well I know they say show business is a harsh business to be in. Maybe as unfortunate as it is that relationships have to be like this, it helps their characters to feed off one another?? I read somewhere that Hugh Beaumont (Mr. Cleaver...the Beave's dad) was hard to work with especially when the cameras stopped rolling. I hope all who have these type relationships can take heed from the Andy and Francis relationship and the making of peace to be able to do it in their lives. It is MUCH better to live in peace than to live among the ruffles and feathers! A stress free as keeping the Sunday motto of living life peacefully and quietly on the day!

Please enlighten me! I was so upset, I went out and sprained by petula oblongato! (still don't know how to spell it, though). :) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 02:12:19 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #146 I agree that Ron HOward is the only one who could really do justice to a Mayberry movie. I heard that when they did the Return to Mayberry tv-movie, he was very polite to Andy, still calling him "Mr. Griffith." And he had already made "Cocoon". Class will always tell, won't it? :) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 07:52:04 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #146 "One of my all-time favorite lines is "Let's not pick our peaches before they're fuzzed up good...!

Wow - I hadn't thought about that but it does give a person pause. That's the only way I'd go see a Mayberry movie - if Opie ran the show. On another subject - all the talk about Briscoe delivering his lines with a straight face. It makes a person wonder how many times they had to retake a scene because of the actors busting up over a line. I sure couldn't deliver those lines with a straight face. Whenever someone asks me for something and I know I don't have it I always respond with "Ain't you got a jack?" And I haven't yet been able to say it without cracking up completely. It leaves everyone staring at me like I was crazy! Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame?

I agree that Ron Howard probably would not accept the challenge but he is the only one I would trust with that challenge. "These late hours are gonna kill me dead.

The site is laking exept for direct online ordering. A friend wants to possibly order them. Any other time I would be tripping over this type of ad or have it myself. I never see it when I need it.
